BRIK Internet Radio, Black

I really like my Brik Internet radio! It has a decent FM section. Initially I was a bit skeptical about the supplied antenna.It turned out that it works just fine. It appears that only the initial placement of the antenna is critical. Once you tune in and save the FM stations, you will be able to listen to them in more or less any antenna position. My preferred method is auto scan. In that mode, I understand, 20 strongest stations will be saved. Fast and simple!Before purchasing the Radio, I did not know almost anything about Internet radio. I have the application for it on my tablet but I was not too impressed by the sound even when connected to my stereo. Also the Wi Fi connection was not very reliable. This little guy is a complete different story! Wireless connection (the only option I can use due to placement restrictions) is fairly reliable. It can only get better if you can use a wired connection.The sound quality, depending on the speed of broadcasting of a specific station, varies from acceptable to a very respectful.You can add new stations buy registering an account with [...] (free). You just need to enter the name of your radio and either wireless or wired MAC address (found in the information center). You also need to enable mymediaU on your radio.I have no experience in using the SD card slot.The unit appears to be very solid and of high quality. It is surprisingly heavy for its size (tiny)!I believe that the sole reason this radio is not more popular is lack of proper manual and lack of specifications sheet. The supplied manual is realistically of no use. If you understand the basics, you do not need it. If you do not understand the basics the supplied manual will not help you. I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me the PDF version of the expanded manual. That version is much more useful than the original manual but requires a serious effort to be understood due to language barrier. That is a real shame because the radio really has much, much greater potential than it is apparent from advertising/supporting material.I was very happy about the service provided by the seller - Modern Audio USA.I understand that it is currently on sale compared to the price I paid (149.99) which makes it even a greater value!

Well made piece of electronic in today's age of el cheapo electronic stuff. Works great and seems well built, quality for the price. Would buy again, yes.

Perfect. What else can I say.
