I can get KKGN, Oakland on AM radio here in Sonoma County, but with a lot of noise. For now I will listen to a set of stations across the country via my SBIII. Right now I'm listening to John Fugelsang guest host the Stephanie Miller show on WCPT 820-AM Chicago. That way, when I get in the car, the same show is playing at the same time on the radio. I tune in to other shows on other stations who broadcast the same show at the same time as KKGN, so when I drive, I can listen to the same show at the same time as at home.
My setup is a bit strange, but I prefer to listen anywhere in my apartment or woodworking studio, *even when my laptop is shut down.* I use the Squeezebox to feed a CCrane low-power FM transmitter which gives me decent quality sound anywhere in the house. Much of the rest of the day, I listen to music from many sources, and the SBIII is great for that. I usually listen to jazz or classical music when I'm trying to get some work done, and there are still enough music stations streaming MP3 to keep me happy for now. It's apparent that the rapid cycle of modern obsolescence for electronics has caught up with me. I may end up getting a good AM antenna and feeding the CCrane unit based on that. I'm a senior with limited income, but I hope to eventually buy a used Squeezebox Touch to get the AAC capability - but who knows when AAC will be supplanted by yet another new stream format.
