Hmm, well, I got my Sonus 1 XT back from this company, supposedly fixed the
other day. It has lost two rubber feet in its travels and although the note
says no parts were used, its clearly in a different case to the one I sent.
Now it ran for around a day before it started acting up again.
Seems to me it has internal logic trouble. its been reflashed with the
latest firmware, but this has not cured the underlying intermittent fault of
it cutting out for no reason, indeed the effects are far more interesting
now.

Last night, I touched the handle to tell what the time was and it proceeded
to read every word and letter in its vocabulary from a to o, then locked up
and had to be unplugged.

Next it lost all its memories and started up like a systme reset.
After running for a further ten minutes on absolute classic rock, it totally
ignored button pressing and then decided to reset again then sulk.


I think its going back...
Its obviously got some kind of intermittent fault. This morning it
unilatterally decided it liked the World service so much it would crash if
you moved the rotary click know away from it and some of the words had
nastyy digital squeaks and grunting noises in them.

All the memories were blank again.

There was one thing to be said for old fashioned radios, you knew where you
were when these sort of faults occured. I suspect this module will end in
the bin and a new or refurbished one from Pure will be needed.
Sigh.


Yes it will.. a mate of mine bought some hundreds of Reciva Internet
radios with problems. He mended a lot of them but it hardly made any
money repairing them..

Such a waste. Seems the problem is more to do with getting the firmware
right in the first place than much else..



Still if all else fails you can go digital satellite..
