OKay. I like that better because the jacks are in the back.
Even though the fidelity of $8 earbuds can`t be that good, I tried them
last night in the headphone jack, but they have a 2.5mm plug to fit a
cell phone and it`s a 3.5 mm jack. Plus it`s TRRR instead of TRR,
because of the mike it has. Iirc that is still supposed to work if the
plug fit.

I guess I`m afraid they`ll send me another one that`s no better than
this.
After I`ve gone to the work of shipping the first one back and putting
the new one in its place, both of which would have been pretty easy 2
years ago but now seem like tiring acts.
Also I think it would be easier to get them to send a new one after I
tell them how much effort I put in to get this one to work. This stuff
doesn`t seem tiring because it fulfills my curiosity too.

I hope so.
BTW, I remembered last night that I have another bluetooth radio, also
by Sangean, in the bathroom, and I tried to pair it with the Grace radio
this morning and it was easy. So I don`t know why I can`t pair the
bedroom Sangean, especially since I can easily with Alexa, and I
unplugged Alexa. It`s not just that I can`t pair it, the bedroom
Sangrean doesn`t even show up on the Grace wifi list of bluetooth
sources.
