Can you listen to radio on a cell phone without a Receiver?

June 16th, 2011

Question by mantas1111000 mantas1111000: Can you listen to radio on a cell phone without a Receiver?
I need to travel to Vilnius, but I don’t have a portable radio. Because the entire bus will probably be filled with hopeless nerds/engineers, I want to listen to radio, when we travel. But my phone doesn’t have an FM Receiver.

The thing is, the radio is lithuanian, and those, which broadcast through the Internet, don’t stream that station.

Any way to listen to FM radio on a Sony Ericsson S500i?

Best answer:

Answer by Common Sense
No. Try a Walkman. They’re dirt cheap.

Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, delivering power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise.

I want an Internet Radio receiver that isn’t depend ant on a computer for Internet Radio listening.Any advice?

March 5th, 2011

Question by “Kh a a a a a n n” ! !: I want an Internet Radio receiver that isn’t depend ant on a computer for Internet Radio listening.Any advice?
I would like to buy a stand alone Internet Radio receiver. I know they make them. They receive Internet Radio but they do not require the use of a PC.

I feel this would be the best thing as I have looked at Satalite Radio systems and they don’t have certain stations I want, and they also have subscription fees. Internet Radio would not have fees for listening to various stations. You could get any station that is available on the Internet.

Any advice on where to look for one of these? Which one should I get?

Best answer:

Answer by weeder
The only device I can think of does NOT require a computer but it does require a network. No player is going to pick up Internet radio without some type of internet connection. It also comes programmed for over 1000 internet radio stations.

How do you make a FM radio receiver into one that can pick up Air Traffic communications?

March 2nd, 2011

Question by Jesse West: How do you make a FM radio receiver into one that can pick up Air Traffic communications?
I would like to make a normal FM radio into a radio that can hear air traffic, VHF, also, with the design that you give, could you tell me how far away from an airport you could be to hear things good?

Best answer:

Answer by trent0123
It would be extremely difficult to alter an existing radio because all the circuitry is made for normal FM frequencies.
You would have better results by looking up a circuit for the shortwave bands you want to receive and building it from scratch. You can then build the right size antenna you need and you will pick up the communication many miles from the airport.
If you know how to build circuits on printed circuit boards you should be able to make your own receiver.
There is lots of info online about basic and advanced electronics on this subject.
You can also look for someone selling a multiband shortwave radio.
