Did anyone try to use their Live Sports Radio at the game?

We bought 'em last year and they worked every week. There are at least 4 in our group of tickets who have them, and no signal this week. Anybody else have trouble with them? I checked the website, and they are still selling them for this year. Just wondering whether to bother taking them next week.
 
We had them last year and loved em. We forgot them this weekend but the people behind us bought them. They were complaining the whole game because they could barely hear what Dolph and EP were saying. I never had that issue last year, there was always enough volume.

I heard that you will need to take them to a kiosk at the game to have them re-calibrated for the games this year. This will come with a fee of $5. I guess it's better than spending another $15 or $20 on a new one.

I heard ads on the radio yesterday, so I know they are still selling them.

Although I bought one @ Columbus last year for the UI game, I usually use a Sony digital Am/Fm radio I got at Walmart. $25. It's not easy to find a digital AM radio but it's worth its weight in gold, and I have used it for at least 5 yrs (I've noticed they still sell them). 800 AM comes in great at the stadium.
 
The frequency used from year to year is not necessarily the same so these devices require to get them recalibrated as josh said a couple of posts ago.
 
I bought one this year for the first time. I found it to be somewhat low on volume, but I'm kinda near the scoreboard so maybe that noise is part of the problem.

I didn't use it much, but it was nice to have to turn on for key information, such as when we were freakin about Stanzi.

I think finding a good AM radio may be a better solution.
 
I bought one this year on the season ticket renewal form and I really like it so far. I did hear you have to reprogram it each year for $7, but to me that is $7 well spent for a season worth of Hawkeye football.

Wish I was in Arizona this weekend for the game.
 
I bought another one this year because I couldn't find the place where they readjust the frequency.

Where is it located at so I can get my last year's radio re-programmed?
