[Electronics-Talk] New Radio for Dining Room With InternetConnectivity [Curious Myself]

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon everyone,

     We got the old radio back working for now. Thanks for the 
suggestions. Going the iPad route would give us not just a new radio for 
our dining room but access to other content in that area of our home. 
Thanks again everyone.

Peter Donahue
