Is there a way to listen to archive radio recordings of Radio Moscow or Radio Berlin International?
Q. I've been doing some work on the cold war and have found small snip-its of the english (and for Radio Berlin, German) versions of these stations from the period - is anyone aware of a site where you can access these or any other cold war radio recordings (ie: Radio Prague, Bucharest..) wow those links are very useful - my German isn't excellent but I can't seem to find anything on RBI on the archives website?

What is the best sirius radio for a mail truck without a built-in radio?
Q. My dad rides around in a mail truck all day and it doesn't have a radio. He said for fathers day he wanted sirius radio and I don't know which one to get. He was talking about a dock for it and the one I found on Amazon looks like it hooks into a pre-existing radio. If anyone has any idea what radio I need to get, PLEASE point me in the right direction! I can't figure out how to respond, lmao, but they are allowed to have one. He asked for one specifically.

What causes the radio in a clock radio to come on by itself?
Q. I use the alarm every day but never the radio. It's never set on "radio." It's happened when I'm in the room, so I know nothing / no one has disturbed the clock radio before it pops on. It just sits there quietly for hours and then suddenly comes on by itself. When the radio pops on, it's at totally random times which are never in sync with the programmed alarm time.

Q. I am writing a movie about the apocalypse. In it, the characters listen to the radio, and it zooms in, and shows the radio station with everybody dead, but music still running.

A. You are probably thinking of a 'wifi' radio rather than satellite. There are 'radios' that can connect to a wi-fi access point and deliver internet streamed audio without a 'computer' -- something designed mostly for people who are computer-phobic I assume -- available. This will allow someone to listen to the audio streamed over the internet without using a 'computer' to do so. This is NOT the same thing as satellite radio which is a subscription based service much like cable or satellite TV, but an internet function. If Sirius doesn't carry the station you are looking for, they it won't be on their service, Period. I'd suggest either getting a cheap computer and attaching speakers, and just setting up an 'alias' to allow your mom 'one… [cont.]

A. I'm not sure about internet radio through a cell phone - it depends on whether your cell phone browser works in the area. However, unless you have window access, I pretty much doubt the satellite radio will work. Our XM receiver sits on a window sill and sometimes cuts out when a big truck drives by and limits the direct line to the sky. Good luck!

Q. I dont think our radios would have enough transmit power to reach a radio station but how else would they know how many listeners they have at one time.

A. With the majority of modern car radios, you tune to a station you want, then press *and hold* the button you want to save it on. It will momentarily change to whatever station is already on that button, but after holding it in for a few seconds it will change back to the one you want. It's then been saved.

A. Is this an aftermarket radio? If so it most aftermarkets have a permanent power feed line on them. Someone may have installed it incorrectly. If it's factory, it's possible that a connection is loose or the radio itself has a short. You may also want to replace the radio fuse in your car to see if that helps.

What happened to the radio signal when someone drives to another state or major city?
Q. SCENARIO: Mariella was driving from Flagstaff, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada listening to her favorite radio station. As she reached Hoover Dam, the radio tuned out on her and Mariella was hearing nothing, but static. What do you think happened?

Asked by The Smart Pineapple - Sat Aug 21 18:22:39 2010 - Car Audio - 3 Answers - Comments

A. The radio signals were too weak to connect to the car's antenna and that's why the radio had static sounds. Mariella probably heard static BEFORE reaching the Hoover Dam as well because she has to pass lots of hills and mountains before reaching Hoover Dam and that will cut off the signal temporarily in Arizona when reaching those physical features. As Mariella was getting further away from the main radio station, the signals were getting weaker and weaker.
