Quick Overview

It has a hard time maintaining a connection if it picks one up even. You can hard wire it in and still have difficulty picking up the station of your choice.

Pros and Cons

Pros neat idea
Cons unreliable piece of junk

Review

It has a hard time maintaining a connection if it picks one up even. You can hard wire it in and still have difficulty picking up the station of your choice. I still want to get a wireless internet radio, but I'm sceptical of Grace at this point. $230 is plenty to pay for something like this.
