Pure Evoke Flow

It doesn't do listen again if, by that, you mean it records the program. However, you can tune into the BBCs listen again features.

It does play podcasts but I don't know off the top of my head - I don't have the unit anymore - whether the BBC podcasts come up when you search. I assume they do.

I think you can choose what the display shows but, again off the top of my head, I don't think it shows both the track time as wel as the actual time. Again, though, it doesn't do time-shifting as such.

The clock does auto sync with the DAB signal.

It does all the usual alarm-clock radio type things and you can choose from radio, buzzer, your own music, or a PURE sound to wake you up. And the snoozebar is a touch sensitive snoozebutton, essentially.

thanks. I was referring to BBC "listen again", so that is great. Time-shifted, well by that I meant listen-again or podcast stuff - i.e. the real time will not be the same as the time given by the radio announcer or the BBC pips, since its not a live transmission, hence the desire to have the real time permanently displayed - nothing radical, just what clock radios always used to do, but which my Logik fails to do, preferring to use the display space to keep me permanently informed that the device is "real enabled" - vital info!
I guess my only reservation now is those pesky touch-sensitve controls and the general control logic (which you seem to love) - it looks from your excellent video review that you need to be fully awake and eyes focused to navigate the controls, the semi-somnolent fumbling hand will struggle I think?

I live half the year in the Tropics. I need a robust trustworthy Internet Radio which will receive signals from a good wireless router about 30ft away.
Will the Pure Evoke Flow do the job?
Your advice please.

Laurence - I've just bought one for the Missus for Christmas, but I had to sneak a quick play with it, you know, just to check it works. It appears well made, although I know the tropics is death to most electronic kit - its just a quesion of time. The signal reception is much better than on my Logik IR100, but that's not much of a boast. For all the fancy touch sensitive buttons and designer looks of the Evoke however, the clunky buttons and dials on the Logik are a far better interface. If you want to grope you radio in the middle of the night and select Radio 4 to send you off to sleep, well you can do that on the Logik without raising your head from the pillow, just fumble around for the right preset and push it. With the Evoke you really need to be up and dressed, as you have to navigate the screen by twidling a knob and select the correct touch sensitive part of the flush control surface - no feeling around for the right button because whatever your fingers fumble first, that is the "button" you've pressed, so to speak. Sound quality is good, the OLED screen is easy to read from any angle, and the device is highly configurable via The Lounge site. They even do a selection of sounds, like cicadas or a thunderstorm, might remind you of the tropics...
