I would like to know if there is a device like the iPod size, at least that it fits in my pocket and I can get radio stations that are over 150 miles away. I live in Springfield, IL and I want to get B96.3 from Chicago so I can listen to it when I travel. Is there such a device?
yeah a Creative Zen Touch 20/40GB $240 !!thecraigc!! P.S. have u met the simpsons yet!!! !!thecraigc!!
150 miles is a long distance for regular ol' broadcast radio. i think generally to pick it up from that distance, you'd need a hell of a big antenna. i'm not sure if that Zen can pull it off.
Yes they broadcast it over their website and i listen to it at hom all the time. I just want a pocket sized device that I can carry around to listen to their station. P.S. Yes, the simpsons are my neighbors!!
amg, i dont' think you're going to find a hand-held radio device to meet your needs. there's a station about 120 miles from that i have trouble picking up wiht a big, oversized home stereo antenna.
Auslander, thanks. Yeah, I doubted highly that I could find something like this. Thanks for confirming it.
it would be possible to catch the signal, maybe, with one of those huge antennas (think CB radios on trucks) and a good signal amplifier.
Oh okay. so, sorry to bug everyone. But, how much would one of those amplifiers cost for my car? I'd be interested in getting one.
and this is where my limited knowledge ends, lol. try a google search for "radio signal amplifier" or something along those lines.
PDA + GPRS or WLAN and listen the stream via web while on move, been using this solution for few years now.
