 Very Pleased with Sangean September 6, 2008
Peter Cervelli
The setup to connect wirelessly was very straight forward. The ability to find stations easy. It is even easier if one uses the Reciva website to set up personal preferences. The sound quality is also very good. So far so good. It has been about 2 weeks of ownership. Happy with the purchase.
 pritty good radio September 1, 2008
Stig Henriksen (L.R Arkansas, USA)
A very good raido of its genre. Easy to set up, easy to use as soon as you get used to the remote. The rotate knob on the radio it self feels akind of sloppy, and takes time to get used to. Delivers very good sound.
 great little radio. NOT great customer support. August 12, 2008
Sharonia
I needed a radio that would get my favorite local radio stations, which I can no longer get here in the sticks (of NH), also because it seems classical music, alas, is no longer being transmitted widely, except on HD radio.
I chose to go this route because I can get ALL the best stations in the US and abroad with this radio.
That said, it took some doing to find and set up a router (went thru 3 routers) that would work. But work it does.
The radio is fairly easy to use, the instructions are clear, which is good, since as usual, the help phone number is nowhere to be found. The sound quality is excellent and the reciva.com website is fairly easy to use.
However, I cannot get my favorite podcasts to work. They cut out and stop altogether. When they restart, they start from the beginning. I cannot get the pause,fast forward or reverse to work, either on the radio or on the remote.
I wrote to Sangean asking for help and have received no reply.
I should have titled this review Great radio, LOUSY support.
Move over XM August 4, 2008
Dxer (Roanoke, VA)
I will admit that I am a radio junkie, this radio has been the best find that I have run across. After several years of being an XM user, I decided it was time to let that go and try out the WIFI radios.
This Sangean gives you almost instant access to any station on the internet, you can find by genere, country or location. I do wish it had more than 12 memory slots but really it does ok, if you had more it would become harder to find your favorites without scrolling through a long list.
I have not tried hooking it up to the computer yet, but if you do you will be able to access all of your MP3 files. one day perhaps I will try that feature.
I would highly recommend this radio to anyone who is looking to expand their radio listening experience and to all XM and Syrius users who find they aren't using their radios for anything more than a in house radio which is what mine was.
So give it a try, Amazon has a good price, or you can order directly from www.ccrane.com
Probably the best choice of current Wifi Radios July 29, 2008

I've had my WFR-20 for a month now and I'm very happy with it. Set up
very easy and I had the radio connected within minutes. I first tried a
wireless connection with the unit on a shelf about three feet away from
router, a Westell Versalink model 327W; could not connect. I believe this
was a problem with the router since my wife has problems connecting with her Dell laptop. I then ran an ethernet cable from the router and
connected immediately to the network. The sound quality is equal to or
better than a Cambridge Soundworks HD radio I have.
During the first ten days, I used the radio in my home office. Then I
ran a fifty foot ethernet cable to a hub in my bedroom and it still
performs flawlessly. I also ran an RCA audio cable from the out jack
on the back of the radio to a ZVOX speaker used for computer audio in
the office, works great. Also, I often use it with a Sangean Versacorder
to record distant late night talk shows or other programs. All things considered, I'm happy to give this unit five stars and have no regrets with this purchase. Wifi is the greatest thing to happen to the radio medium in the last sixty years and the WFR-20 is probably your best bet
of the radios currently available.
