I have got to use a WiFi radio (Logitech's "Portable" model) over the past few months. It comes with thousands of streams already loaded and I suppose that it could be used to // signals, also. Yes, it is another electronic gadget, however it produces less RF than a PC+Monitor combo or laptop. AND there is nice entertainment value too - get the optional rechargeable batteries and remote and take it to the deck or patch it through to your home audio system. It also streams MP3's from your PC.

A very nice write up, Jim. I think you can use globaltuners to ID a signal, however....if you hear a parallel with a radio on globaltuners, then you can listen on globaltuners until you hear an ID....if you have the time to continue listening there. Now, your description of racing around trying to ID things while your computer freezes up on a webstream is very apt, but I figure that some of what I parallel is pretty much a local at the listening site; the Hano Bay tuner lists Pori on 963 as one of its regulars, which doesn't seem unreasonable, so the ID on the hour from there will do for me. Another site worth checking that goes beyond Europe is http://www.multilingualbooks.com/online-radio.html which is where I got my Iran 1503 parallel from. Of course, they also suggest R. Farda is in Iran... Thanks again for the write up. best wishes, Nick _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
