Hello Thomas,
\nI’ve read with interest your blog and inputs about the XHDATA radio.
\nNow since yesterday I own such a radio, and I’ve noticed it has aspects that are superbly resolved, but I miss a complete Instruction Manual. The pdf you have there (the same as the printed one that came with my radio) isn’t describing some matters, I will highlight just those I’ve confronted:<\/p>\n

– How do you set the local time?<\/strong> The manual stops at saying how to switch from Automatic (I guess from the unreliable RDS clock) to Manual. What buttons are to be pressed further to set the time ?<\/p>\n

– How do you save radio stations beyond the 10 pcs on Page 00?<\/strong> Ho do you go further from Page 00 to some other ? Pressing further the Page button doesn’t change anything.<\/p>\n

– How do you call saved stations from other pages that Page 00?<\/strong><\/p>\n

best regards,
\nSorin<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you for your question, Sorin. I’m letting a friend borrow my D-808 so, unfortunately, don’t have it handy to confirm this for you. My hope is that an SWLing Post<\/em> reader can help.<\/p>\n

Please comment<\/a> if you can help Sorin with these D-808 functions!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
