It uses WiFi to connect to the router. The sixties are over Steve.
There's no sport in hearing a 100KW station a few hundred miles away.
HFBC is obsolete. Who do you think still listens to that?

When the BBC became available on XM I stopped listening to HFBC
completely, but I still enjoyed the Coast Guard. Now they are pretty
much on Iridium and other sky based venues so I am left with digital
modes on the amateur bands. I just covered the eastern part of North
America with a readable 30 Watt signal. Probably caught a few ships at
sea, too, but they don't report to the auto-spotter database.

But it's OK, I was listening to my $75 web radio and my BCT-8 while I
was doing it.

Hey Dave,
Can you give me a little tutorial about web radio? Say I wanted to listen
at night
while in bed, the computer is in the other room, do I need to do anything to
the
computer before I go to bed? Do I setup the radio for specific URLs , then
I can just
change channels on the radio. I have looked for an online tutorial but
haven't found one.
Thanks MikeK

Sure thing. This is how I got started:

http://www.shoutcast.com/

http://dir.xiph.org/index.php

There's also a web stream tuner in iTunes that contains CBS stations
like KROQ and KCBS

Plus, there are more and more dedicated tuners like the Myine IRA.

http://myine.com/ira/

It searches a central database for tens of thousands of stations and
podcasts. It gets the World Service, but it also gets all the little
tiny BBC regional outlets where they speak Welsh and stuff.
Amazon sells them for $75 occasionally, $150 is too much, IMHO.

So the web radio picks up a wifi signal from my wireless router,
the web radio can then be programed to play audio for the station you pick?
Do you just turn a knob or push a button to cycle through station names to
pick the audio you want to play?

I prefer listening to stuff straight off the radio. It's just more fun
to twiddle the knobs. Noise, fading, and QRM enhance the experience of

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

If you like the "magic of radio", if you just want to get it in the log,
"real radio" is the way to go.

If you actually want to hear the content of the program, internet radio
is the way to go.

Neither way is inherently right, it just depends on what your goals are.

Whilst I slept, my K3 received a psk31 transmission from Antarctica and
logged the event to a map of the world. The sender in Antarctica knows

'Special Dave',

You are still paying for an Internet 'Connection' and
even at a low $20 per Month @ 10 Cents per KW
that's equal to the Cost of having three 100 Watt Light
Bulbs "On" 24/30 all month long.

24H x 30D = 740 TMHs ~ $74 @ 1 KW Average

100 Watt Light Bulb 740 TMHs ~ $7.40 @ 0.1 KW Average

Plus the Cost of the Electricity to have an Internet
Appliance "On" to utilize the Internet 'Connection'.

Paying $$$ for an Internet 'Connection' is just not
the same as "Free" Over-the-Air Radio ~ RHF
* .
* .

My internet costs about a dollar a day. If I use my Drake to listen to
talk radio I have to leave a 1 Amp linear power supply plugged-in all
the time.

- That's 12 VA X 24 = that's abt. 288 Watt Hours per gay,
- or about 6 kWh per month, at $0.20 per, or about $1.20.

*The internet radio
appliance is also rated at 1,000 mA, but the power supply is switch mode
and probably never even comes close to using that much power.

My internet connection is always on, whether I use it to listen to KLBJ
or not, so that doesn't count.

- Your "math" is undeciferable.

'Special Dave' - sure-do-look-like-you-math-is-fussy-
288 Watt Hours x 30 Days = 8,640 Watt Hours
per Month -not- about 6 kWH : Off-by-About ~44%

The Fact Still Remains that your Internet 'Connection'
Costs you at least $20 per Month and that is about
the Cost of running 3 x 100 Incandecent Light Bulbs
24/30.

D'Oh ! and least we forget : "Free" Over-the-Air Radio
does NOT Require an Internet 'Connection' and the
Associated Monthly Cost of an Internet 'Connection'.

Buy a good old AM & FM Table Radio
http://www.murauchi.com/MCJ/front/im...1780019892.jpg
and you can receive "Free" Over-the-Air Radio
at just the cost of the Electricity to run it;
with NO Internet 'Connection' and the Monthly
Cost of an Internet 'Connection'. [1 Cost Unit]

Buy a new Internet Radio {Audio Content Provider}
and you can receive Internet Radio at the cost
of the Electricity to run it; PLUS you need an
Internet 'Connection' and the Monthly Cost of
an Internet 'Connection'. [2 Cost Units]

OBTW - Stick a 'Pocket' AM&FM Radio in your
Shirt Pocket and take an Hours Walk around town
and you will hear your local AM& FM Radio Station
throughout your Walk-A-Bout. You simply can
NOT do that with your Internet Radio. -eod- ~ RHF

The Tivoli Model One is a state of the art FM radio, and 'Dwardo will be

The point of the thread being wood cabinets. If you put the Tivoli on

The Tivoli's FM sensitivity is OK but has dreadful AM sensitivity. I
think it sounds great considering its size.

Yes, the AM on the Tivoli left a lot to be desired. My Carver TX-11a
and McKay Dymek AM5 beat it handily in every way. My favorite AM
receivers, though, were ones I modified for high fidelity: my Racal
RA-6217 and Kenwood TS-440S.

You can't spell "ham" without "AM,"

Kevin, WB4AIO.
--http://kevinalfredstrom.com/


Sound preference is admittedly subjective, but the Hammarlund HQ-180AC
I once owned sounded SUPERB on AM. There's just SOMETHING about tubes
that solid-state components can't seem to match. However, right now I
feed my Ten-Tec RX340 thru a Sherwood SE-3 synch dectector driving an
el-cheapo Radio **** bass-reflex speaker and the AM audio sounds very
good indeed, especially if I open up the 340's IF filter to 16 khz.

I have the Recepter HD. It's a little tubby sounding. The Tivoli
sounds better.

You have to suspend it in mid air (like on a $15 OSH stool). If there
are no boundaries nearby it sounds OK. They probably designed it with a
computer, or in an anechoic environment. Henry Kloss would use his ears.

Cheap china plastic is what they use ...

Ahh, old Kloss, weird buggar. Heard he, also, often suspended radios on
little wires off his gonads when testing and adjusting them ... great
minds are just hard to understand, I guess. ROFLOL

.... just can't seem to remember where I heard that rumor from ...
