What is this? :confused1::huh::confused1: I'm new to SWL so please explain and is it Mac compatible?

Found this interesting opinion piece on Net radio that could shed new light on this topic as well as other radio related topics......... Prometheus Background: Alternatives to LPFM

I've stumbled upon a discussion on a fairly new type of radio...Internet radio. The radios to listen to this new way to listen to radio are just now coming on the market as near as I can tell. Now I don't want to offend or get flamed for radio heresy but does anyone here own a net radio or use...

Interesting. I've been a long time fan of Kenwood Audio equipment and my current steoro is a Kenwood brand. I eyeballed the Kenwood R-1000 in my cruising on e-bay. So that makes your suggestion of a KW R-1000 ok by me!:thumbup: I have a Grundig GS350DL from Amazon to try so I'll wait until it...

Sadly, the downturn in SWL is the main reason I plan to limit my expenditures to an old Realistic DX-160 if I can find one cheap. I just want to play a bit and from what I've read here , and elsewhere, it will do little good to do more than play with my idea. But that's ok with me. :thumbup1...

WOW!!! Can it be THAT simple! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

Thanks for the reply's fellas. :thumbup: Loosecannon.. what kind of wire & gage? Copper or stainless or? And the wire gage?? The broomstick looks interesting since I can't climb trees or do ladders anymore. (I'l bribe the neighbor's boys for that. :D) What gage of wire and unless I miss...

I hope to be able to buy a decent REALISTIC DX-160 off e-bay soon. I'm just getting back into SWL and at my age (63) I still like the old hands on way of doing things so this analog radio is perfect to play with. Since I am retired the budget is razor thin for play toys so I like to use what I...

I'm sorry but......:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Hello everyone. I'm back into SW after a 30 year time. Look forward to re-learning SW as a retirement hobby. :thumbup:
