Config example files

List of Radios

• See content above.

General Info

In this section you find ADDITIONAL configurations from other users which they have used on their radio. You can add your configuration file here, but make sure:

• to enter the right name and radio id
• to double check the config options
• to add some comments

To add a configuration easily to your radio, you can do the following using (copy and paste):

• telnet your radio and remount the partition writable ("mount / -orw,remount")
• cd hwconfig
• backup your config file: "cp configXXX.txt configXXX_backup.txt" where XXX is your radio ID
• open your file with "vi configXXX.txt"
• move the cursor one line behind last Option-entry in the file and press "a" to start the insert-mode in vi.
• mark the config-file text from here and right-click the cursor in the telnet app "putty.exe". This should insert the whole marked text
• double check if the text was inserted properly, especially check the beginning and end, if there is no letter missing
• BE SURE THAT YOU PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!
• press "escape" to leave the insert-mode
• press ":w" to save the changes
• press ":q" to quit the editor
• unpower your radio, power it again and hope that it turns on and you did all right.

ONLY DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!

Comments:
With those options you add the following things to your radio:

• A working equalizer menu
• A working contrast menu. This is important as the standard contrast is set to high and causes problems! Set it to 10.
• When doing a substring search, prssing "reply" does the same and srolling to "END"
• You get rid of the "REAL ENABLED" string
• You get a 3-line-standby display instead of the big clock. Setting "graphical-clock" to "on", you have a analogue clock displayed
• Every of the five alarms has its own icon
• "back" and "off" are now also menu items
• the local-media option is active, so when you unscrew your radio and insert a usb hub with usb data stick, you can listen to mp3s on it
• reply button saves the current station to the "MyStreams"-Database
• you have local bookmarks in addition the the "MyStreams" favorites.

Logik IR100 (Radio ID: 1012)

NOTE 1: This is a FULL config file for replacement. Delete all option-entrys from the old config-files and then insert this. You can delete a line in "vi" pressing twice the "d"-key. Do that until all option-entrys (and not more than these!!) are removed. Note 2: Using the firmware 257-a-756-a-205 with these settings. Older firmwares should do it as well.

Comments:
With those options you add the following things to your radio:

• A very very useful search function. When you once have it activated, you won't miss it anylonger.
• When doing a substring search, prssing "reply" does the same and srolling to "END"
• You get rid of the "REAL ENABLED" string
• "back" and "off" are now also menu items
• the local-media option is active, so when you unscrew your radio and insert a usb hub with usb data stick, you can listen to mp3s on it
• reply button saves the current station to the "MyStreams"-Database (#1)
• you have local bookmarks in addition the the "MyStreams" favorites.
• Radio saves a history of the last played stations
• Take care of the setting "initial-volume". Reciva seems to have changed the volume handling with newer firmwares. With the wrong setting, the radio will be not as loud as with the right setting.
• #1 NOTE: in some firmware configuration, you have to edit the file "all_radios_common.txt". Here the option "reply-button-function" is set to off. You need to change that to "on".

Comments:

• Setting deemphasis off vastly improves the sound quality.
• The clock is enabled in the status line. The clock would not appear with 257-a-756-a-030 firmware but works on 257-a-756-a-238 and later.
• For scroll-timeout-* values, use a value which doesn't divide nicely into a second, otherwise there'll be a stutter when the track time updates. Increasing the horizontal scroll speed like this really improves usability. Anyone know how to speed up vertical scrolling (and the delay before it starts)?
• The clock position - If you choose to only have 24hr option, 46 will centre it. This value needs changing for 12hr. 58 is OK for both 12/24hr to work. This requires the icons spaces to be set to 4, to limit the number of icons.
• Mute now works both through speaker and line out.
• If the wifi standby is set to disconnected, it's unlear if any power is saved (the wifi led still flashes). Update - you need to add Option: wireless-ethernet-connector 2 Option: wireless-ethernet-pin 32 to actually power the wifi down. (GSUM)

Comments:

• Menus are now vertical, two line - personal preference.
• there are 5 alarms and each can be weekly, weekdays only, etc. They can also be buzzer or a radio preset. The alarm button on the remote now takes you to the Clock-Setup menu rather than straight to the previous single basic alarm.
• faster horizontal scrolling text. The default of 1 second was way too slow.
• history and bookmarks
• The backlight is now adjustable for Active, Inactive, Standby (Configure menu). Never set Active to zero 8-).
• To watch the effect of changing bastreb-curve, watch config/audio.ini as you change the Eq. The values relate to the AD8356A Eq spec e.g. 1800 = +18db treble

Comment by brassing:

• If you include

Option:
pbch-report-enabled
off

to suppress REAL ENABLED then it does work (i.e REAL ENABLED is suppressed) but a side effect is that the scroll-delay option has no effect. In this case the scroll delay seems fixed at about 1.

Magicbox Imp / Acoustic Energy (Radio ID: 1019)

Insert options into the existing hwconfig/config1019.txt (just before the include keypad_alto.txt line) - do not simply replace the file.

The lcd-display-mode option should work on other radios with a graphic LCD display, it gives three lines of text rather than the standard two on the Imp, this makes it easier to navigate the menus.
