Hello Jerry and list,
That's neat that you can listen to your NPR station online.
But unfortunately, mine doesn't stream over the internet. I'm really hoping
that it will one of these days.
Thank you for that suggestion though.

Well... I would have agreed with you not all that long ago but circuits for
digital radio designs have changed dramatically over the last few years,
again! you usually get what you pay for.

Terry, Could it be that your NPR station is weaker than the Christian
station next to it? Most Walkmans and boom boxes have very lose front
ends. What I mean by that is, that they don't reject multipath
interference that well. So stronger stations almost always blead over in
to the weaker ones.
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your input on this. I appreciate it.
Yes, I believe that this Christian station is stronger than our NPR station.
I know this NPR station is in one city, but it has towers in other cities as
well.
I can actually pick up two of the stations, but the one near the Christian
'Will do.

Hello everyone,
First of all, I'd like to say thank you for your thoughts so far, on this
situation.
Now I have a couple more questions.
If I purchase a different boombox, than the Sony I bought, is it likely that
I'll run into the same problem I have with this one?
I want to be able to pick up

To add to what Mimi is saying here..it's also probably next to impossible to
find a bomb box with a microphone built into it! We have a Magnavox..which
doesn't do bad. But even it only has the one mic built in. So, for
instance, if we use it to record the band that I work in, you'll just get a
Hi, Terri,
You also might have luck at Big Lots/Odd Lots; while I haven't bought
a boom box from these stores, I have seen them on shelves. Since I am also
blind, I have looked at some with analog tuning and volume knobs. Target
stores might be another shopping place to look. I found
Hello Greg and others,
Thank you for the recommendations.
I have looked at Target online, but not at the store. We have one out here
though, so that would be a good place to look.
And I doubt I would have ever thought of Big Lots. That would definitely be
a good place to look as well.
We have
I would recomend either another philips or a panasonic boom box. Speaking of

they make one but I can't find any info does iriver make a docking station
for their players or do I need to purchase one of the xp or sirius
Gotta tell you; one of the best sounding bomb boxes I ever heard is a

Dear Terri,
I can't help much when it comes to brand names, but it seems to me that
analogue tuning is superior to digital, particularly when it comes to a.m.
radio. I found a cassette deck, radio combination at a junk shop. It was
made in the early 70s, and it doesn't record properly, but it

I thought that this discussion would have been deemed off topic, but since
it is not so, I have a related question.
I would like to buy a Radio Tuner or a tuner amplifier that I can connect
to my Hi Fi system. I find the same problem with these units. They are
digital displays.
I would like
tom ask your friend what the model number is. We might find it on ebay.
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
Recently, my boombox took a fall, and in the fall the door to my CD player
came off. And I can't get the tape deck to record from the radio anymore,
though all other functions of the tape deck still work.
So I am now trying to find a new one.
I've looked at some at Wal-mart and
