Is the problem really fixed?
I want to by one but only if the problem is fixed.

WOW! Great service from the Revo team!

They have offered to refund the radio but will be applying patch shortly to fix the contrast issue and have resolved the sleep issue to my satisfaction hence i’ll happily keep the radio. From talking to the top brass at Revo seems this was never designed as a clock radio but with these fixes in place should work great!

Many thanks to the team at Revo!

I have recently received my Revo Axis in great condition and very timely. After the initial excitement I’d like to pass some thoughts on the radio:

the good …
• It looks GREAT!
• It Sounds great given its size.
• Its feature rich.
• Great search functions.
• The touch screen is great.
• the interface works well.

The bad …
• the lowest level contrast still lights up my whole bedroom at night and making it impossible to look at when the lights are off without completely waking me up. Even functioning as a clock only it is too bright to even leave in the general direction of the bed. It like having a night light one foot from your face while trying to sleep!
• The sleep function, which is one of the main reason I purchased the radio, is buried many, many levels down the menu that makes it difficult to navigate when you are just getting into bed much less when you are trying to turn it back on in the middle of the night. Seems if I want an easy sleep function I am forced to buy a remote to operate a bed side radio in arms reach feels like a marketing gimmick for extra revenue. I think this feature should be on the bottom left corner of the clock screen opposite the alarm button so it can be set/reset with a single click in the wee hours of the night much like my last two short wave radios.

My overall comment is that this is a great table top radio in every respect but if you are looking for something in the bedroom look elsewhere; 5 stars as a desktop radio, 1 star as a bedroom radio and its even a bad bedroom clock!
