Wireless Internet & FM Radio 5
A few helpful hints:
It takes a little time!
When you select a radio station the Argon iNet1 uses a web link to access the radio station.
If you are familiar with listening to Web radio through your PC or just browsing on the web, you will
know that the time it takes for the webpage or Web radio to be loaded, differs very much.
The same goes for the Argon iNet 1. You must not compare with a normal FM radio where changing
stations happen in an instant.
You will also experience that some radio stations are slower to load than others. This is again just as
browsing the web. Some web pages come up fast and some not.
As an example, if you choose a radio station based in China and you are sitting in Norway, the chan-
ces that the loading will take longer than if you choose a Norwegian based radio station, ar e very big.
This, as browsing the web, has to do with how many servers you have to go through and how fast
connections the different server providers have.
Finally, loading a radio station that broadcasts in 128 kb takes longer time than loading a radio station
broadcasting at 20 kb.
Broken links
From time to time you will also experience that a web radio you have chosen does not work. It is just
the same as a “broken Internet link” – with over 16.000 radio stations available, some come and some
go. The web radio is updated several times per day, but there is always a chance that some stations
come or go between the updates.
