The Pogo Radio LX offers you an unprecedented class of MP3 recording and the ability to listen in on your favorite AM and FM radio stations. The small design gives a high performance even for picking up radio stations. The quality of the signal is comparable to most home stereo systems and is surprisingly good.
Although some MP3 players and recorders have tried the radio aspect and failed, the Pogo seems to have hit something that they missed and ran with it. Overall the radio aspect is very well done and only adds to the usability. This may be one of the reasons for its popularity.
The one thing that the Pogo Radio gives you that other recorders just can’t seem to get right, is when you hear something you like, simply hit the record button. You can listen to it anytime you want after that. Whether its music of the radio, news from your favorite AM talk show, or something around you, the simplistic one button push to record will have you saving all kinds of things for you to listen to again later.
Not only that, but it has a programing record mode that allows you to set it up to record your favorite station at the time you set it for. Now that’s something special. It works a lot like the DVR’s for television in that respect.
The Pogo Radio also enables you to download podcasts and MP3’s from your own computer. This turns your entire CD collection into MP3’s and stores them on the SD card. The recorder will hold up to 1 gigabyte SD Card, and that will give you well over 60 hours of continuous listening time without hearing the same song twice. Add the fact that it is an absolutely great voice recorder, and you have yourself an MP3 player with radio that can record your thoughts as a personal diary, later to upload to your computer, and you have a wonderful little piece of technology.
