The NEW Pogo Radio YourWay LX brings together brilliant
features and convenience in a compact yet powerful
MP3 Recorder that can capture everything from music
and radio to conversations and more!
The Radio YourWay LX's built-in AM/FM radio has excellent
reception for its size, so you can listen to your
favorite music station or talk show wherever you go.
For recording your favorite radio programs, the Radio
YourWay LX is the first digital recorder to "get it
right" when it comes to built-in radio. When you hear
something you like, simply press the record button.
It's that easy. It's just as easy to program the 10-event
timer to record future shows or late night radio programs
automatically. Radio YourWay LX is easier to program
than a VCR, but, as always, our trained staff stands
ready to help you with any questions.
Download podcast
MP3 files from the internet or use the "line-in" jack
to convert any audio to an MP3. You can even convert
your entire CD library into MP3’s and experience the
freedom to carry them with you. The Radio YourWay
LX has excellent fidelity with built-in EQ options.
It can also be used as a digital voice recorder to
record transcriptions, personal reminders, or other
voice memos directly through the built-in Mic. Up
to 8.5 hrs of audio files can be saved in MP3, WMA,
or RVF formats to the internal 128MB memory.
Removable SD
Cards (up to 1 gigabyte or 60+ hours) allow you
to save and play an incredible amount of high quality
(32 Kbps) audio.
You can also upload your recordings directly to a
PC or MAC with an included USB cable, so there is
no limit to the amount of recording you can do. In
addition to archiving your audio files, the Radio
YourWay LX can also be used as a portable storage
device to store and hold your digital pictures, digital
videos, digital music, or any other type of data file.
It's like having a computer in your pocket… only smaller.
Weight: 3.4 ozs. Size: 2.2” W x 3.9” H x 0.7” D.

|
|
|
|

A fully charged battery will give you about 15-16 hours of usage before you need to recharge it again.
|
|
|
|
Which type of USB Interface does the RLX use?
| |
USB 1.1. However, it will function with systems using USB 2.0.
|
|
|
|
If the RLX is reset or if the firmware is upgraded, do all the stored functions and settings go away?
|
|
|
How come the RLX keeps shutting off?
| |
The RLX shuts off automatically if it remains idle for 1, 3, or 5 minutes. You can adjust the amount of time that passes before auto shut-off occurs by configuring the 'Auto-Off Time' function in the 'System' menu options.
|
|
|
|
Can the RLX be 'fast-forwarded' through commercials?
| |
Yes, A 'short press' of the fast-forwarded button once will advance through the file being played at a rate of 10 seconds per second pressed. A 'long-press' of the fast-forward button will advance the file 1 minute per second pressed. The same thing can be accomplished in reverse by pressing the rewind button.
|
|
|
|
What sort of file formats are supported?
| |
The RLX will playback both MP3 and WMA formats. However, the RLX can only record in the MP3 format.

| |
With the HOLD button 'on' (in the UP position) the RLX is locked. No settings can be changed while the HOLD button is on.
|
|
|
|
If earphones are in use, where is the FM antenna wire plugged in?
| |
The earphones also act as an FM antenna when in use. When listening to the RLX via the internal speaker, you can plug the FM antenna wire into the earphone jack. The FM antenna and earphones cannot both be used at the same time.
|
|
|
|
Do I need to install the included software to use the RLX with a PC?
| |
The software contains drives needed to interface the RLX with Windows 98SE. This software is NOT needed and does not need to be used with any other Windows Operating Systems.
|
|
|
|
The RLX is hooked up to my PC. What do I do now?
| |
Click on the 'My Computer' icon. Look for a removable disk icon, usually displayed as Drive E or F. Double click on the disk icon belonging to the RLX. Files from the PC can now be downloaded onto the RLX via dragging and dropping, copying and pasting, etc. Likewise, files can be uploaded to the PC from the RLX using these same methods.
Note: 1 GB SD Cards can only hold 420 MB on the root directory. To place more than 420 MB on the SD card, simply create a folder on the root directory and place the files inside of that folder.
|
|
|
|
My RLX stops recording on its own. How can I fix it?
| |
You may need to perform a "hard reset". A hard reset will erase all schedules and programming that may be affecting the recording time of your RLX, it will also fix other issues that may be a factor. To perform a hard reset: 1.) slide the HOLD switch to the ON position, 2.) press and hold down the ERASE button (do not release the Erase button) and 3.) use a paper clip or pencil to press the RESET once (do not hold the RESET). After about 15 seconds the screen should display "Formatting please wait". At this time you can release the ERASE button and slide the HOLD switch to the off position. Your RLX will now be reset and ready to use, and should no longer stop recording on its own.
|
|
|
|
What kind of recording time can I expect from an RLX?
| |
Kilobytes Per Second = (kbps)
1,000 kilobytes = 1 Megabyte (MB)
Recording time on 128MB
32kbps = 8.5 hours
64kbps = 4.25 hours
128kbps = 2.12 hours
256kbps = 1.6 hours
An average song length of 4 minutes recorded at 128kbps takes up about 3MB of memory. So, an RLX with 128MB of memory can store 42 songs recorded at 128kbps.
|
|
|
|
Does the RLX support a 2GB memory card?
| |
No, memory cards larger than 1GB are not supported. The results from using them can unpredictable.
|
|
|
|
Is the Pogo Radio YourWay LX compatible with Windows Vista Operating System?

|
|
|
All RLX functions are frozen, or unit can't be turned off.
| |
Depress the reset button on bottom right side of the unit. DO NOT use a sharp object.
|
|
|
|
The RLX has been reset, all functions are still frozen.
|
|
|
The RLX will not turn off the internal microphone when doing a line in recording from a headphone jack.
| |
The Line Input and Mic Input needs to be a high impedance input. Not all headphone outputs are high enough impedance to work properly with the RLX.
|
|
|
|
I am recording from a Satellite radio and the recordings are very distorted. I get clear recordings from AM or FM. The satellite radio is connected to an amplifier. The headphone jack on the amp is connected to the MIC jack on the RLX.
| |
You may get better results by connecting to the RLX from a line-out jack rather than a headphone jack. Check and see if your Satellite radio (or any amplifier connected to your Satellite radio) has a line-out jack and run the line from there to the RLX instead. Also, go to the menu in your RLX and make sure that "line-in/MIC" is selected and that you are using a high enough kilobit per second (Kbps) rating for higher quality recordings.
|
|
|
|
How can I erase all my timer and preset settings on my Radio YourWayLX? I have tried a reset and a hard reset but my timer and preset settings are still there.
| |
The reset and hard reset functions will not erase your timer and preset stations. In order to erase all your timer and preset settings you will first have to upgrade to version 1.10 or 1.11 of the Radio YourWayLX firmware. Once you have upgraded your firmware you then have to restart your Radio YourWayLX and then go to the System Menu. Scroll down to the 8th choice, labeled Band Area, and select Europe. Changing your Band Area to Europe will erase your settings. After you erase your settings, return to the System Menu, go back into the Band Area, and select USA once again. You now have a fresh Radio YourWay LX ready for new timer and preset settings.
