I remember as a kid, my Dad would say that he would like a SW radio since you can get broadcasts from other countries like SE Asia. Was he far off the mark? Is it of any use in England? I would like to buy him one.

In terms of reliability and function, which ones are the best? Preferably no more than £40-£50 pounds.

Thank you very much!

Now a days there is no need to buy a Short-wave radio since you have access to radio stations from all over the world through the internet.
SW radios are a pain to tune and you have to know the frequencies of those stations you want. You also need a good external antenna with high gain. Anyway look into grundig.com they make good SW radios.

The radio I’m using goes to standby when I turn if off, so it’s still using power. Since its a portable system, I would like to somehow turn the radio completely off so it doesn’t use power while I’m not using it. Can I add a switch that turns the radio completely off?? Or will the radio in standby won’t be using almost no battery at all.

It will use very little power in standby. It has two power wires. One is usually connected to the ignition switch so that the radio goes off when the engine is off. The other always has power, to maintain the preset station memories, volume and tone settings, last station played, and clock time, if it has one. Installing a switch on the first wire does exactly the same thing as the power button on the radio. Installing a switch on the second one will lose all the memories, including the last station it was playing. So adding a switch to either one really doesn’t make sense.

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.

I don’t think they are allowed to have one.

For Fathers Day, have you considered creating a list of why you appreciate him? Answer this survey on that.

Please go on the website and charges or rates apply.” Or something like that and I went on the website and there is no information on how to text the radio station. So how do I subscribe? Does anyone know how I can subscribe so I am able to text the radio station?

…out of what state?? Why dont you call the station and ask. the phone number should be in your directory under the call letters.

It displays "Satellite radio fault". But when I’m leaving work (the 2nd crank up for the day) it works fine. What’s wrong with it?

You are probably not listening enough to Howard Stern and Fafafooey

But with my old clock i was starting to get a bad radio signal anyway and my new one is perfect.

Yesterday i plugged my old clock on another desk in my room for when im sat there on my laptop just as a desk clock really.
My aerial is in same place, but it is a rubbish signal, im not really bothered because i my new clock is better quality anyway.
But why is this?

The alarm radio is older and it don’t get as good of a reception as it use to. The antenna might be going on it.

Or is HD radio just all the same channels but in higher sound quality?
I live in Detroit, but what about other cities, like LA, NY?

Just about all of us are running subchannels. In Detroit, you have quite a variety of stations only available with an HD radio. Get the whole list at www.hdradio.com For my $$, Smooth Jazz V98.7 HD-2 is a really good listen. And Detroit’s first Hispanic channel is on WYCD-HD3.

Can anyone please help :)

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.
