Ownership verified by DX Fm radio on your pc!
Posted by pkzephyr on 7/25/2008
Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstar

Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstar

Pros: I've always wanted FM radio on my PC so thought this would work great. The unit itself is tiny and I initially though mine came without an aerial but I opened it up and found the wire wound up inside.


Cons: The driver that came with it crashed every time so found another one thanks to google.


Other Thoughts: I have it attached to a usb extension cable and have attached the aerial to a car aerial I have on my roof for better reception now its crystal clear


Bottomline: Great device well worth the money, just made another radio/appliance in the house obsolete.

Pros: Very small device, drivers install easily, software included to run the usb fm radio as well. Comes with aerial to help give it a signal boost which obviously helps.
Basically a very small peripheral that plays fm radio through your sound card

Cons: When i opened the package 1st thing i noticed was there was no aerial(there is but read on) attached like in the pictures, but after a week i decided to open the device so i could solder my own aerial to give it a boost and found a long about 50cm aerial taped up inside. :)

The software has no independant control of it volume it is linked straight into the Wave Volume of your sound card so volume cannot be adjusted to use while playing games its a constant volume linked to Wave on your sound card :(

Software is substandard, does the job but thats it, settings do not save properly.

Other Thoughts: Need better software support or software that works with the device which gives independant volume control for the usb fm radio so the levels can be adjusted independant of Wave volume control.

Software doesnt save settings properly leaving it at factory settings pretty much.

Needs better software to make it an awesome peripheral.

Bring out a software update!

Bottomline: Cheap, plays fm radio ofcourse, software works but is not very customiasable, if you want it for background music while playing online games you will have trouble getting the volume right, if at a proper level at all.
