Description:
Intempo is branching out from its usual territory of DAB radios with the GX-01 - its first model that
can access internet radio stations rather than content broadcast through the ether.
It can tune into over 5,000 internet radio stations from all over the world and can operate without
the assistance of a PC. Just turn it on and it'll log on to a Wi-Fi network if there's one available.
If you've yet to make the leap to wireless, there's also an Ethernet port too.
It can also stream your own tracks from a PC on your network or directly from a USB storage device
and it supports MP3, WMA and Real formats. There's a built in alarm clock (with snooze) and a remote
control for effort free operation. Users can easily plug in a memory stick containing pre-recorded tracks
they want to listen to. Intempo has also included an Ethernet port.
Radio stations and song details are displayed on an integrated LCD. Playlists and favourite stations
can be stored by the Intempo GX-01’s memory. Step-by-step instructions scroll across the LCD
explaining how to add these presets.
What the customers thought..
'...This internet radio has to be one of the best, if not the best available, it certainly is one of the cheapest. It was incredibly easy to set up, it literally took two minutes, and all that was required was to scan for networks and enter my security key - luckily WAP and WEP is supported, so no worries there. Once you do have it set up, it is incredibly easy to navigate around stations from all over the world. These can be selected by location, or genre, you can also store stations on the www.reciva.com website and play them back on your Internet Radio easily...''...The sound quality is impressive with a 3W speaker. I have played a range of stations with bitrates ranging from 32kbps WMA, to 320kbps MP3 and suprisingly even the low bitrate ones still soud excellent. I have managed to listen to stations for hours on end and found that the radio does not start buffering or cut out...'
'...Many features are contained within this wonderfully looking radio, alarms, sleep timers, large display, clock, easy rotary dial, you name it, the GX-01 has it. ...'
'...The styling is wonderful, and the wood casing is very nice..'

Latest..CommentsQuestionsReviewsWrite new..The IntempoTRS-01 is available in five colours : black, violet, claret, grey and blue - in a compact 205x38x105 mm (WxDxH) package weighing only 40g (excluding batteries). The unit is delivered with a mains 6V 800mA rats-lead power supply and can also be powered by battery.
All the controls except volume are provided on the front surface - which also includes an illuminated LCD display. Reception is via a 60cm, six element telescopic aerial. Quality of reception was adequate, but not quite up to the level of other products I've tested. If you live in a weak signal area this may not be the best product for you. FM reception was however good - as was FM auto-tune.

Tuning is via a rotary control or via auto-scan for FM. There are 20 pre-sets - ten for DAB and 10 for FM. The only other controls provide for station tuning and 'information' for DAB stations.
On the left-hand end panel you'll find the input for the DC power supply and a standard headphone socket.
Volume is controlled in 10 incremental steps. Sound is produced from a single 2.5' speaker. The sound is somewhat tinny, don't expect a huge amount of base, which is possibly to be expected with a single speaker of this size, however speaker technology has improved a lot over recent times and better quality is possible. The maximum volume was however very good considering the size - certainly good enough to be heard over background noise in a busy kitchen or in the bathroom over the sound of the shower!
Batteries are inserted into a compartment at the rear of the radio. Space is limited and squeezing four AA batteries into this small radio obviously wasn't easy. This does mean that it's not quite as straightforward to get them in (or out again) as I would have liked.
Those familiar with DABradio will know that power consumption can be an issue when running from battery. Not many therefore make use of AA cells - so I was interested to see whether the resulting lifetime was up to the claimed 10 hours. For testing I used a set of 2700mAh NiMh batteries - the highest capacity I've found available. The claimed lifetime of 10 hours is from a standard set of alkaline cells. Using the radio at a mid-volume, tuned to BBC Radio 4 and on the NiMh cells I managed around 8 hours. Not bad - the important thing is that's generally a good days listening, which is ideally what you'd want.
In summary - this is a good quality basic portable DABradio - entirely analogous to a traditional, small portable FMradio. It's great for carrying around the house or into the garden/workshop, and with a few spare sets of charged NiMh batteries will provide will provide excellent service.
The price for the IntempoTRS-01 seems to vary somewhat. The official price is £39.99, and indeed for the most part this is the price on Amazon. The 'gloss-grey' version is however retailing for only £29.99. At around £40 this is good value for those that want an entry into DABradio, or just want a second radio for carrying round the house.
