\opt{RECORDER_PAD}{
\note{The early V2 models were in fact FM Recorders in disguise,
so they had the FM radio still mounted. Rockbox enables it if present -
in case this menu does not show on your unit you can skip this chapter.\\}

\opt{sansa}{
\note{Not all Sansas have a radio receiver. Generally all american models do,
but european models might not. Rockbox will display the radio menu only if it
can find a radio receiver in your Sansa.}
}
\screenshot{main_menu/images/ss-fm-radio-screen}{The FM radio screen}{}
This menu option switches to the radio screen.
The FM radio has the ability \opt{recording}{to record and } to
remember station frequency settings (presets). Since stations and their
frequencies vary depending on location, it is possible to load these
settings from a file. Such files should have the filename extension
\fname{.fmr} and reside in the directory \fname{/.rockbox/fmpresets}
(note that this directory does not exist after the initial Rockbox
installation; you should create it manually). To load the settings,
i.e. a set of FM stations, from a preset file, just 'play' it from the
file browser. Rockbox will 'remember' and use it in \setting{PRESET} mode
until another file has been selected. Some preset files are available here:

MAS-chip is set to record mode for instant recordings.}
