Re: Accessible radios? Hello all. I miss this topic. So it has been 3 or 4 years since my last post in this topic but ccrane is the way to go. Same with Sangean. I'll admit, I'm more into radios than your average person. LOL I have been known to drop $100 on a radio and did not think twice

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Thanks for the link Trenton. I find it interesting reading, and GeneWarner, I do not have a cassette recorder at this time, or at the vary least I misplace the last one I had. The recorder I have sitting on my desk records directly to a macro SD card in either wav

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? I dont recall those, but that might not mean much. Then again, I may had known one or two people that had some kind of kit. As for the wire antenna, that should be easy enough for me to put together. After all, that will mainly be a wire put in the clip on the side

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Yeah, back when I was a kid, I was very dissatisfied with the local radio stations, which at that time I thought were all after the bubble gum chewing crowd.So I mostly listened to short wave stations from all over the world. To my mind, there was nothing better

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? One of the features of this radio that I use a lot is the ability to record programs to cassette pretty much the same way youd program a VCR to record a TV program for watching later.All you need is a cassette recorder that has connections for a mike with a pause

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? It is true that the tunein app is a really good streaming app, but not every station is on it. I have to also use Ihart and other apps for most if not all of my streaming needs for the IOS devices. As for long wave, I havent yet found a station of any kind

Re: Accessible radios? if you want to record radio streams just use tapin radio, its a program which plays most of the stations available in the world and you can record with it too. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=222098#p222098

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Running down the feature list, I see some of what I am looking for. One thing I do not see in the feature list is SSB (single side band). Allot of the two way communications that happen on shortwave uses this. I know that there is a lot of am stations

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? @cw;Not at all, my philosophy is that the only stupid question is the one that isnt asked. So I dont see your questions as complaining, I had a lot of questions when I ran across the radio myself.Now to your points:No, it does not have SSB. I believe the radio

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? While most commercial radio stations stream their broadcasts over the Internet, I wonder how many short and long wave station do. If short and long wave radio reception is what youre looking for, I have my doubts how useful a program like Tapin Radio would be. URL

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Hmmm. I looked at those links and find it sort of interesting. One question I have is how well does the radio handle distense stations and how well does it handle close and how power stations? Add to that, how well does it sound? Just wondering. URL: http

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? The 2e runs about 170. I say you get a lot of radio for the buck. The audio quality the radio produces on headphones and speaker is incredible. Sidenote: The AM audio quality is brighter on the cc skywave compared to the 2e. But the 2e has better sensitivity on am

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? As for the 2E, I am asuming you meaning this one on amazon? I am also asuming the skywave can be found here. I am sort of wishing I brought this up last month when I was shopping. LOL. To me, any shortwave receiver must have pretty good reception at worse and great

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? For those who are wanting FM radio, and have a compatible phone for it, best to have a look at Next Radio , as most newer phones these days may have the FM chip disabled intentionally so you are forced! to stream your music.As for other accessible radios out

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? For voice dream reader, you can look here and here for more info. HTH. I will give those sites a quick look at least. I had short wave sets before, and I got tired of crappy reception. So when I picked up this set, I was looking for an antenna connection. I know

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Apple isnt really known for good and well done cloud type stuff. I really dont know why apple forces people to use a music program or ICloud to back things up. Of course there is google drive and dropbox for stuff if you can get your apps to aloud you to move

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Its not just about misc stuff, its things like when I have a series of audiobooks I always name and number the folders in reading order, or in ways that are sensible to me. For example I have a main audio folder which has the names of authors or sometimes productions

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? After your explanation, the reasons you gave do make sense. With me, I do have enough audio books on my computer that I have to make sure that it gets over to the devices that I want them on and that it showed up just right. I finally gave up on that and just dumped

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Well otrcat.com is a site I have just brought some old radio stuff from.The price is as much for the cds to be shipped and thats all.so 5 bucks for 1 cd 20 for 4 cds.I spent 80 bucks mainly as birthday presents and I think I had a 4 a 3 and then several 1 and 2 disk

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? The only site I know for old time radio shows is Radiolovers which is here which has some nice stuff either for vague interest (while the series is way too cheasy for me,it was interesting hearing the first ever episode of buck rogers), or some actually quite

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? I will look in to those apps. I really wish I brought this topic up before I bought the radio. LOL. What can I say. I will give the CC2E radio a look. How much radio do you get for the price? I guess that can be found out by going and looking it up. Main question

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? @Cw, your slightly off on the bbc and Uk licensing. Firstly, the Bbc is most definitely and certainly not! biased towards the government at all, indeed a regular topic of scandle in the Uk is how far the bbc jernalists go in terms of making the government not exactly

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Hmmm. Interesting. I am learning a lot on this topic, or at least it would appear so. Here I am used to the news being one sided at times and the TV receiver not requiring a license. LOL. As for the whole long wave thing, what I read may be totally or at least

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? And I can clearly see why you would lean more towards the stream. It isnt all that hard to put your favorite media on it and it is easier to have it where you want too. I am thinking about getting the newer one, but just haven’t got around to it yet, or at least

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Well Cw, attempting to report the truth without bias is actually in the Bbc charter, though of course how well they succeed at this can vary between different jernalists and situations. Generally in the Uk though its the tabloid papers that have the huge reputation

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? I do use some of the artist/album/genre info when organizing my music, but the thing that really drives me crazy is when I give ITunes the correct info, it only makes that change to its own data base. I wish it would add the info to the files in question too. I

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? I still do very much like my Iphone for the aps and games and what not, and will use it for those things, (I was playing audio defense just this afternoon), but Itunes I hate. For me who has a very specific folder structure for books and music, Apple imposing

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? You can use a 64 gb sd card with at least the modern stream, but Ive not bothered sinse I basically found 32 gb more than enough for on the go. I personally just hate all that artist/genre/album rubbish myself sinse Ive got far too many things like game soundtracks

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Hello. I have the cc 2e radio and love it. I also own the cc skywave radio. The skywave has shortwave and the 2e does not. The skywave is very straight forward. Plus ccrane has a blind guy record descriptions of the radio. As of now, ccrane is my go to radio brand. I

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Here in the US, there is no need to have a license to receive radio or TV. The license comes in to play when you wish to transmit on said radio or TV bands. There is still music stations on the air here, but it is easy enough to find the talk show and news stations

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? The discman has just stayed working because, well I havent done anything nasty to it and there is no reason it shouldnt, albeit these days its easier to carry say my victor with music digitally than to try and carry a lot of cds.For music though I do have

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? That is a shame about apple being the exception instead of the rule. I can understand if the dial on this radio didn’t have a digital read out. I do listen to most of my radio station type things over the internet as it is, and I guess I was hoping for something

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? When it comes to sounds between listening to something over FM and listening to that same thing over the internet there is a really good chance that there is not really that much of a difference. I have came across a few streams that was at bit rates that made them

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? @Cw, yep, lack of decent documentation is a thing these days, as is over complicating things for no reason, my Moritz radio tuner just has 8 presets which is more than enough. As to knowing the frequency, well the same is true in the Uk as well as regards radio

Re: Accessible radios? Unfortunately Cw, speech really isnt a feature which sighted people include or look for in designs of pretty much anything by default, especially speak of displays, clock setting and what not sinse why would a sighted person need the speech when they can look

Accessible radios? In todays world, this is not needed as much as it may had been, but does any one know of any AM FM radio on the market that is accessible to the blind? I am just wondering. I came across this on I can work this thing and did some searching on the internet. Turns out

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? I guess I need to explain a little bit more. LOL. You are pretty much right about the nobs and sliders bit. Pretty much every radio I have seen in the past was and is easy enough to operate. My biggest problem with my current one is that I dont know what

Re: Accessible radios?

Re: Accessible radios? Im a tad confused on the accessible bit there cw, sinse even now there are lots of fm radios with standard knob and slider controls with an areal and there really isnt much you need for accessing those. Heck, even though the Moritz radio tuner in my sterrio
