Let's stop this speculation right now -- Radio does have this
capability. Like most electronic devices, Radio is never truly fully
powered off -- a tiny, very low power microcrontroller is always running
when there's power (battery or AC), even when the SqueezeOS and
SqueezePlay software that handle networking, display, and audio are shut
down (when Radio appears to be "fully off"). Radio's microcontroller can
wake Radio up at a scheduled time, and the SqueezePlay software ensures
that the microcontroller will wake Radio before the next scheduled
alarm. Since you can only schedule an alarm when Radio is "on" (and, if
using a Controller or web browser or device like iPod + iPen, connected
to SBS or MySB), SqueezePlay should always schedule the microcontroller
to wake Radio up in time.
