[SlimDevices: Radio] Radio in the bathroom?

2009-10-18 Thread Pascal Hibon
I’m thinking about buying an SB Radio to use in the bathroom. The specs don’t mention anything about humidity, so I was wondering if there are some Radio users here on the forum that can share their experiences on the topic. I’m mainly concerned about the humidity that is built up during

Thanks for testing. Not good. :-( But then I have been pondering for some time if I should get a new Radio or a used Boom for the same price, I guess that's an easy decision now. -- usch usch's Profile:

I think it depends on how humid it gets in the room. Obviously, moisture can be bad for electronics if they aren't specifically designed to be in that type of harsh environment. I assume you have an exhaust fan in the bathroom. If it's fairly effective, you should be alright as long as you

Well,I thought that this had been corrected but today the sync is so far off that it is almost like unsynced. There was a day that there was message on the SB3 waiting for sync and that day things seemed to be getting better. But not today. I think this is a serious issue because the WIFE notices

I believe that I remember something being mentioned that it was only rated for a non-condensing environment. So not in a steam room but probably OK in a bathroom - the mirrors take up most of the humidity anyway. -- dwilliams01

It wasn't recommended by logitech, but I've got my beta unit in the bathroom, and haven't had any trouble yet. No promises that it won't affect it any day now, only that I haven't had any issues for the time I've had it. (a few months i think) -- FredFredrickson

So now that I've settled in a bit with my Squeezebox Radio (already having a bunch of other SB products in my house), I see a crying need for some improvement of the Preset buttons in two areas. 1) They're still pretty buggy (I trust that ultimately Logitech will fix this). Specifically, it
