Linksys Wireless B Music System internet radio That's not a radio. You need a computer to use it. |
I knew that before I bought my Linksys internet radio when I read the
information on the box.I don't tote it much though,I can listen to it good enough when I am in other rooms in my house,besides,I don't want to drop it.It has two speakers and I can tune in radio stations around the World.It is an internet radio.I like physical radios even though I can use my computer as an internet radio.I am listening to Radio One out of Dublin,Ireland on it right now.That is why I bought it,so I can listen to Ireland and Scotland radio stations.It is worth it to me.Whatever turns your crank,Hank. cuhulin |

It is at www.stevequayle.com where that www.radiolabs.com link
is.I don't know why I had been thinking it was at rense.com or coasttcoastam.com cuhulin |
That tote it whatever it is satellite radio you have uses satellites and
computers.I don't doubt somewhere in the mix,satellites are involved with my intenet radio too.In fact,I am pretty sure they are. cuhulin |

I played with one extensively at EEB and came away with the feeling that it was cheaply made, especially in comparison to the more expensive (and better performing) Sony 2010 which I ended up buying. Ya get whatcha pay for. An ATS803A is certainly more rugged than the 2010. |

But if you mean surviving a drop I cpuldn't tell you about that...I don't drop my radios as a test. I do know the controls on the 2010 were far more precise and solid feeling and the case didn't tend to twist and give a bit like the ATS 803a. And my 2010 was going strong for the 12 years leading up to its sale. |

And my 2010 was going strong for the 12 years leading up to its sale. The ATS-803A is built like a tank. http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/2814 ''Conclusion The Sangean ATS-803A provides a lot of value. It is no wonder they were so popular. It is a well rounded versatile portable radio. 803A's (or their Radio Shack cousins, DX-440's) are frequently sold used in the $60-$100 range. The days of manufacturing portables at this kind of quality level have passed us by. The 803A is a good all-around player for any MW/SW listener, especially if you can string up even a moderate length external antenna. If you can find one in good condition in the $60-$80 range, you are staring a bargain in the face. Note on Modifications This radio has proven to be a modifier's delight. Components inside are relatively easy to get to and there is ample room inside to move things around, add stuff, etc. Among the mods chronicled on the internet: "Anti-chuff," fine tuning and improved whip sensitivity. The fine tune mod is especially valuable for MW work. The fine tune mod provides +/- 3 kHz from the BFO control, when operating in the BFO Off position.'' http://www.radiointel.com/review-ats803a.htm |
