sfbp Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have had very mixed results with remotes that have a tuner on them. Apparently the functionality is all to do with the resistance presented to the recorder, quite apart from whether the socket fits The fault I have observed on at least two of them is the radio function is either very slow or inoperable. In the latter case, it seems to mess up everything for a while (eg the jog lever functions on the remote). Unplugging from the portable seems the only way to cure this.I have to recommend this auction - good price, fast delivery, and seems to work perfectly in all the units I tried. He has multiple items for sale. I have no connection with this vendor whatsoever.It's an RM-MC37LT suitable, as the title says for N510/NF610 and N710/NF810 (I am not exactly sure if the 510 and 710 actually accept the special radio plug). But it also works in the NH700 HiMD, my workhorse portable, and presumably the NHF800 which is supposedly the same as the NH700 except for the radio remote. Supposedly one should get a RM-MC39LT specially built for the HiMD (I believe it has a HiMD indicator in the display, big deal!), but these seem to have full functionality. I did fix all the NH700's to believe (service mode) that they were NHF800's but I think they still work ok with the remotes without doing that. Maybe someone knows if changing the firmware is a necessary prerequisite to using these tuners properly in the NH700. If so, the possibility exists that my problems (before) arose from the time before I changed the NVRam settings in the unit. IE that I shot myself in the foot (by using the tuner without making the model number change). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant_Rick Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Do you changhe the radio stations via the unit itself or just the remote? I was thinkin', it shouldn't be that hard to build an external radio and connect it to the unit, but it doesn't make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Everything is on the remote. Once you turn on the radio, the MD is (should be) dead. In fact I have managed to get one into a state where the MD playback is superimposed on the radio sound, but this is not supposed to happen.

ceramiccactus Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have that remote, it came with my nf610.By far the worst remote I've ever had. It's HUGE, and has really weak buttons.The weather radio channels are probably the only decent thing about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
