Apparenly the fear that your new radio will be listening to what you say
has depressed sales, so now they are explicit:

Does anyone have a wifi radio? Esp. one with preset stations?

Any station that does online streaming, iTunes can relay to an Airport Express
with the audio output in SPDIF (optical style) to a good stereo. That way, there\'s no WiFi transmitter
next to an FM tuner\'s antenna...

Does anyone have a wifi radio? Esp. one with preset stations? What do
you have? Do you like it? C-Span radio which used to come in crystal
cear all the time, even though it\'s in DC and I\'m in Baltmore, now
rarely comes in well enough to listen to it. They must have moved their
antennas. But I can get it on wifi, so I can use recommendations for a
wifi radio with presets.


And you have all heard about Ring Doorbell vidoes by now, right?

It could be useful for the radio station if you let them know of the
problem, and where you are.

Good idea. Actually, I have written them about 3 times in the last 3
weeks. And each time it auto-responds with the message that their
mailbox is full! ra...@c-span.org What kind of a business has a full
mailbox? We\'re not talking about voicemail, we\'re talking about email!
I keep thinking next time it will work.

(I wanted to write, not call, so I could give all the details, including
my exact location, and so I could butter them up. For a while an
engineer at WAMU FM in DC was soliciting my opinion on reception in
Baltimore. I guess I wrote him first but I don\'t remember why (bad
reception?) Reception is good now in most of the city and even
coutryside north of here (on the far side from DC).)

I\'m going to call and see if there is a better address than the one they
give on their webpage! And if that doesn\'t work, I\'ll write to C-Span
and ask them to forward it to C-Span radio technical department.

I don\'t mind spending $200 for another radio, even though I should be
getting rid of things instead of buying more things. It would make it
easy to preset C-span and 9 other stations. But I\'ve run out of space on
the shelves next to my bed. (For the rest of the hosue I use the
computer and an FM transmitter.) And I\'d have to decide between two
models with presets (3 if you count the one that requires using the
remote to go to a present, but I don\'t count that one.) One is a pretty
wood style one, but one has a face that tips back, which would work well
on the lower shelf, but I think it\'s plastic. I hate decisions.
There are many \"FM radio\" apps available for your phone.

Even AM radio apps, but they require cabled earphones as an antenna.

If it has a speaker, it has a microphone....

Only if it is connected to an input circuit.
