Re: [all-audio] Sangean PR-D17 AM/FM Radio for the Visually Impaired
I think the smart speakers on the market cut into the internet radio market, maybe even crippled it altogether. The only internet radios seem to be needing to be set up with remote controls, knobs and buttont on the radio itself with know audio feedback! Grace and C. Crane seem to be the only manufacturers making anything these days. I do know Dane if there were anything worth the while you would be one to let us know what would be available and how accessible it would be!

Re: [all-audio] Sangean PR-D17 AM/FM Radio for the Visually Impaired
How you entertain yourself is entirely your thing and I appreciate your points. I hardly listen to local radio myself anymore given that I have better and higher quality listening options from services such as Tidal etc. Having said all that however I do appreciate just how useful the Sangean Pr-d17 may be to someone who has a bit of trouble using a radio given the unit has voice prompts. I plan to buy one myself to add to the collection and I’m sure I’ll get a good deal of use out of the unit. Firstly the radio rates highly with regards to sensitivity on AM and FM and that suits me given I like to listen to long distance radio. This feature alone marks a great change for a device with voice prompts, it has been the case that when when such a product has arrived on the market the product under performs its competition. The second good reason to purchase this radio is that the radio is a full stereo set meaning you can take full advantage of FM radio - not that any of our FM stations give you much in the way of audio fidelity these days of course -. The PR-D17 has RDS functions which display the name of the song playing, artist, station name etc. The voicing system doesn’t speak this information and that’s understandable as you would need a full TTS platform in the radio itself to allow that kind of functionality so I suspect Sangean are using Static Speech. > On 16 Aug 2019, at 4:46 am, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi! > Actually not want to disrespect people here but i don’t get the Am/fm radio > thing anymore. > I have a harman/kardon receiver here but i very very seldom use the radio in > that receiver. > Maybe i am boring or stupid or something but why not just listen via internet. > /A > >> 13 aug. 2019 kl. 22:54 skrev Dane Trethowan : >> >> Now this radio may be well worthwhile grabbing. >> >> https://radiojayallen.com/sangean-pr-d7-am-fm-radio-for-the-visually-impaire >> d/ >> >> >> >> >> >> > > > > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
