Hello,

I'm sure as you suggest it's not a station issue in view of the quantity
of radios in play. Interesting that it's not having to transcode on my
Raspberry Pi. In truth I suspect I've had a reboot in the past with
Radio 2 as well. It's just the radio is left playing LBC most days.

Well I've now obtained a 3rd Squeezebox Radio (Number 1 and 2 both
reboot with their respective power adaptors.) It had occurred to me (I'm
an Electronics Eng.) that it would be great to check operation on a
battery . But don't posses one today. 
I've just obtained a 3rd radio to try. So will give this a test and may
even purchase a battery.

As a crude test to check the power supply integrity I've turned the
volume control to max. I think this would stress the external and
internal supplies . But no reboots occur , which steers me away from
this train of thought.

As mentioned I've intentionally run all of my devices on direct cable
connection. WiFi coverage in our Victorian property isn't 100%, even
though I've an extra ground floor Devolo WiFi access point (via the
mains/ethernet) and a dual band AC2600 router positioned mid way in the
house.

Thanks again for your suggestions.
