I live in a remote rural area with no radio reception. I do have internet however, and since there are many stations streaming online, I could connect with a "whole house transmitter" which would rebroadcast the station so that I could receive it with various radios in the house. My question is: What is the best way to get a continuous streaming signal, 24/7? I don’t want to but a computer to use solely for this task, and most of the internet radios that I have read about don’t have good reviews. Any Ideas?
theres a great media player out there that i use called Winamp and one of the things it has is an internet radio streaming function, it has AOL radio and Shoutcast radio and both have tons of stations to choose from, i prefer AOL radio because it comes with a lot more channel options.
place to download is winamp.com
its completely free and its a rather small program
I have a gateway laptop model number MX6128 and it is not letting me connect to internet. When I try it tells me that the radio is disabled, that I need to enable the radio control switch. I have looked all over for this and even searched the computer help and support but can not find any thing. This is driving me insane. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?
there is no radio control switch on a gateway laptop, theres only a Wireless switch and its a button that looks like an antenna
Why is it that when you start the engine of a car, the radio goes silent for the duration of the ignition?
Like, you insert the key. Turn the key once. The battery to the car is on and the radio (if on) starts. You can hear the radio stations and everything just fine. But once you turn and hold the key further to start the car, all the sounds of the radio stop, but it’s still on.
What’s up with that?
The computer directs the power to starting the car, which causes this effect.
Buggles – Video killed the radio star 1979
I heard you on the wireless back in 52
lying awake intent a tuning in on you
if I was young it didn’t stop you coming through
They took the credit for your second symphony
re-written by machine and new technology
and now I understand the problems you can see
Oh oh — I met your children
oh oh — what did you tell them
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
pictures came and broke your heart
we can’t rewind we’ve gone too far
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
we hear the playback and it seems so long ago
and you remember the jingle used to go
Oh oh — you were the first one
oh oh — you were the last one
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
in my mind and in my car
we can’t rewind we’ve gone too far
Video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
in my mind and in my car
we can’t rewind we’ve gone too far
(Instrumental)
Video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car
we can’t rewind we’ve gone too far
pictures came and broke your heart
look I’ll play my VCR
Oh radio star
Oh radio star
Video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star
video killed the radio star

I’ve heard that they’re the same thing? Why can we not see radio waves? Absence of photons? If that’s correct, why are photons absent in radio waves? Or am I just totally gone beyond the possibility of safe return?
These are formed by an acceleration of electromagnetic charge. electrical fields create magnetic fields etc. so a self propagating wave is formed. Yes, they basically are the same thing. All electromagnetic waves are essentially the same except in frequency, and hence wavelength. The strength is based on frequency.
You can’t see radio waves, just as you cannot detect some very low pitched sounds, under 40Hz and high pitched over about 20000Hz.
this will help you:

I live in California and need a good radio that gets AM stations clearly. This radio is to be used at home.
I would suggest the GE SuperRadio III. Amazon has them and I’ve occasionally seen them in RadioShack Stores. They don’t look like much, but having used one in the past and comparing it’s performence to my top-quality Sangean ATS-909 reciever. The AM reception is unreal..picking up stations hundred of miles away with little effort and using the internal antenna (milage varies on location)
They can be had for about $45. http://www.amazon.com/7-2887-Superadio-III-Portable-Radio/dp/B00000J061
I am starting a radio production course this year and I want to get some experience using the software that is used in radio stations for cueing the music and ads, and for talk over etc.
Anyone have any ideas what the most popular software is?
You need to visit a radio station because your idea of what is used in broadcasting is about as far from reality as it can get.
Radio stations have used basically the same equipment for 50 years or more… a MIXING BOARD, turn tables, tape record and playback decks and a whole assortment of audio sweetning EQUIPMENT.. they aren’t doing it at home on their PC… they are using, in some cases, State of the Art recording equipment… but at the other end of the scale.. out in the midwest… they don’t even have the basics, since their programming comes in by satellite.
I just bought a 2001 Nissan Maxima GXE and the car has a Alpine radio that someone replaced the factory radio with. I would rather the factory radio in my car. Where could I find a factory radio to buy and is it expensive to have it replaced back to the factory radio?

There are five days to go on this auction – current price is $1.
This is for my bathroom. I’ve seen others do it. Once you flip the light switch, a radio (clock radio or music box) inside turns on.
if you have the switch wired to a plug outlet, plug the radio into that so when you turn on that swith, the radio comes on then you can do this. the only other way is if you plug a motion sensor in the plug, then plug the radio into that. they sell those at lowe’s or home depot, and cost anywhere from $25.00 to $50.00. hope this helps.
Is there an emergency radio for sale that has all the major bands: AM, FM, NOAA, VHF and HD Radio?
NPR has the ETON, which has the neat hand crank to operate feature. No HD but not needed as HD by regulation must replicate the main analog channel. The spring membership drive is coming up in March, many NPR affiliates offer it as a pledge thank you gift. I just sent my membership renewal in. Or try the NPR shop at NPR.org
