You mean actually picking up and tuning in shortwave radio on your
phone? I suspect that isn't possible because the antennas in your phone
are designed for the wifi and GSM frequency ranges, not shortwave. Also,
other than some really high-end digital tuners, most shortwave gear is
set up to 'tune' a particular subset of the shortwave radio frequency
range with a physical variable capacitor while the wifi and mobile
voice/data radio stuff is set to fixed frequencies. If they can't bake
in an FM tuner, I doubt they could do the more niche shortwave. Maybe
there is a re-broadcaster that streams something but other than the
current time and a few other common frequencies part of the fun of
shortwave was to see what you could pick up on a bounce from around the
world. The internet kind of took away the novelty of that phenomenon.

hello guys.
this may seem like a really stupid question, but is there an app either for the
Mac, or for the iPhone, preferably for the iPhone, that would allow me to
listen to shortwave radio. I do have Wunder radio, and bunches of other apps,
however, I have yet to find a particular app that will actually allow me to
listen to shortwave radio. most of the apps that I use will allow me to listen
both to FM as well as a.m. radio. That is however it. if anyone knows of
anything, I would be very interested.
thank you much.
