Internet Radio – the basics
Before you can use your radio to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it is necessary to have
connected it to your computer network using the wireless (WiFi) connection.
There are literally many thousands of radio broadcasts available via the internet as well 'Podcasts'.
Your radio provides several ways of searching for broadcasts in order to make finding and
choosing them easier. Once you have found radio stations which you like, you may either store
them as presets within the radio, or add them to a list of your favorite stations which your radio
can access. The number of presets is limited (there are five presets in the radio), but you can
store as many favorites as you like.
You may search for an internet radio station by Location. If you know the name of the station and
the country from which a station is broadcast this may be the easiest method to find a station. It
is also a great way to experience radio from other parts of the world.
You may also search for an internet radio station by Genre. If you prefer a particular type of
music, Blues for example, you may search for a radio station that broadcasts that type of music,
and you can choose from a list of Blues radio stations regardless of location, or taking location
into account.
If you know part of the name of an internet radio station, you can enter it into the radio and it will
search for stations that match that name. This can be helpful if you are unsure of the location or
genre of a particular station.
The WFR-28C radio connects to a radio station database which serves many users in many
countries. This means that there is a very wide range of program content available. You can also
search for stations which have been recently added to those available (new stations) or you can
search for the most popular.
