Rose FM station issues

I am overall very happy with my Rose RS 250; however, the “Rose FM” function needs a lot of work. I do love the old style tuner dial and that’s a great idea but is just limited (on my unit anyway) to 4 countries only - Korea, USA, UK and Switzerland. It would great to be able to select more countries or have our favorite country as a preset. It mostly works OK for UK and Switzerland although more stations could be included but for the USA it needs a lot of work. When you select USA you get a submenu but it is a mixture of cities and states which makes little sense to have these mixed up. I suggest keep the list as the largest cities. For some reason Ely is included which is either a tiny town in Minnesota or possibly another tiny town in Nevada. Santa Monica is listed but this is part of Los Angeles, radio stations in Santa Monica are the same as in Los Angeles, which also should be listed as :Los Angeles" and not “LA”, But then whatever city/state you select the stations on the dial are mostly the same for each city/state and are mostly completely inaccurate. For example under “LA” there are stations from Boston, Denver, Philadelphia etc. So although Rose FM has the potential to be a great and unique feature it needs a lot of work.

Also “Radio” has very few stations listed for some countries. For example Australia only has 8 stations listed for the whole country and none from the major cities of Sydney and Melbourne.

Thanks for you great product and hoping there will updates to address these issues.

Hello everyone and tomfinebrg,
I also love the vintage look of Rose FM and I would also like it to move, it evolves!
For example I am French and no radio, too bad.
I hope Rose’s team is considering working on it, thanks to them then!
Have a good day,
Hervé

Hello,

I totally agree with what you said.
Starting this year, we plan to add countries to ROSE FM. I will consider about FM radio in USA and make it better.

I’ll add radio channels for Australia.

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation and comments.

Thank you ROSELOA, can you also plan French radio stations ?
Thank you and have a nice day,
Hervé
