Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 15:08:12 +0200 Just a quick question out of curiosity. Can you keep running by turning it on again and again for a long time? I'm wondering if maybe your batteries were not fully charged? (I've had such problems on my non-FM recorder when I have rockbox flashed... rockbox measures the battery status wrong, and stops charging much too soon, as it thinks the battery is at 100%). Have you tried with different batteries? * Chuck Urwiler <curwiler_at_comcast.net> [Thu, Oct 09, 2003 at 08:49:36AM -0400]: > Linus, > I was wondering this myself.
