Guide Review - A VCR for Radio: RPR - The Radio Program Recorder
RPR is a higher-end product designed for radio enthusiasts or business people who travel or have circumstances where it's preferable to be able to record favorite radio programs.
The system's three components work together to provide a compact solution for doing this. To record a program, certain steps must be taken which requires the user to learn RPR's procedures. These are well documented. The process may seem a little cumbersome at first, (you don't just press one button) but this probably becomes second nature with use.
All in all, a lot of thought has gone into RPR and if you enjoy radio and never want to miss your favorite program, this product is worth your consideration.
