   The PC is at the far end of the hall, and when in bed, I don't want to   
   go there to change stations.   With the regular radio, I change stations   
   a lot.   Sometimes back and forth and back and forth.   
      
   The phone could be by my bed, but in practice the phone is off unless   
   I'm going somewhere.  And then off again when I get home.   I've used   
   the phone for this sort of thing while travelling and in the car, and   
   it's just not as easy as pushing a button

   >"radio" so you can send it back and try alternatives?   
      
   I may have let too much time go by.  I'm over the month that Amazon   
   gives, but I did it pretty much knowing there was nothing else I wanted.   
   BTW, when I sent in my last suggestion for firmware improvement, I   
   mentioned in passing that I haven't found CNN or MSNBC yet. She still   
   volunteered that I could find CNN among the IHeart entries, by typing   
   in, on the radio, CNN, and it worked.    (I already quoted that she said   
   MSNBC change their stream name frequently!)   
      
   I've sent in two suggestions, to delink the Sleep function from most of   
   the other controls, and to add a Seek function.   
      
   I'm saving complaining about the sound for last, I'm not sure why. Maybe   
   they'll like me because I've been so helpful (although why they didnt'   
   think of Seek I do not know. Maybe they have.)  I guess the worst would   
   be moving it to the kitchen, where I don't mind if the sound is louder.

   I'm looking at its webpage now.    Very good, and free.  Thanks.
