I love the aesthetics of this. You could say it's good to have a frequency indicator, but most radio stations constantly blare "you're listening to xx.x FM/AM!" so it seems pretty redundant in context. It's a very Rams approach

@cypnk have you tried finding a station with no frequency indication? It's incredibly frustrating as one needs to wait several minutes to find out where they are, then guess how far to go to get to the desired station.

It looks great, but if one listens to more than one station it would be a nightmare to use.

@keverets For the way I like to listen, it works just fine, but I can see how station surfing can be a chore
