Pogo Electronics Radio YourWay Mini 1GB AM/FM Radio Recorder

I have used the radio for about 1 month now, and will attempt to relay my perspective now as best I can. I may edit this review if I learn more. *See revised update below. I agree with the 1st reviewer in that it was difficult to learn the menue system, and operations. The manual does not explain some things all that well, and does not cover some of the operations clearly. I hate useless technical info. but this manual is vague in some areas. I admit that it took me some hours of trial and error.
I use this unit to pre-program talk radio, (like a vcr), and Pogo is about the only unit that I had found to make something like that.
Here are some comments; 1) Get rechargable batteries, 2) No usb port, however you can use the earphone output (which is only mono) to connect to the input of a home stereo system, or compact stereo with an aux. input.

I was excited to find a recording radio at a reasonable price, but using it was less than exciting. It's difficult to program and the users manual is poorly written (I still can't figure out how to change recording quality). But my number one complaint is the fast forward button. It is difficult to push and if you slip, the recording is reset to the beginning and you have to start forward winding anew. I find it's best to break up long recordings into short segments but then you run up against the 5 program limit. The batteries don't last very long either.

I have had, for about four years, the "original" Radio Your Way. This model could operate on either batteries or electricity. It was starting to show its age, so I ordered the "latest" (and now only) model. I was disappointed. The new model proved to be very, very difficult to "program" to record radio programs at future times. I fussed and fussed with it and was not able to effectively program it. Plus, the new model operates on batteries only - and the batteries (I used rechargeable batteries) lost their power quickly. I returned the unit for a refund.

I am sorry the the original Radio Your Way is no longer are available.
