Greetings:

What is the best (by consensus, ratings, popularity, personal opinion, etc.) country & western music radio (or Internet) in the world? Thank you for reading my question and I look forward to reading your responses.

I live in Colorado and I love 98.5 KYGO! They have the station streaming online at their website!

Does anyone know what font they use on the new Chevy radios and dash instruments?

I’m trying to figure out if there is a downloadable font that looks like the new radios in the new Chevy’s. I have found a bunch of LCD fonts but they just don’t look like that. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It looks to me like Arial Rounded MT Bold. If I were making a poster and trying to imitate that is what I’d use. You might need to slightly thicken the strokes to get it just right.

If you listen to live radio online do you still hear the commercials?

I go to college in south jersey where they don’t have the YES network and where my radio will not pick up WCBS-880 AM. Do they stream the radio broadcasts online?

I actually think they do and by the way, don’t get influenced by all those philly fans. Yankees rock.

How to start an online broadcast radio?

April 20, 2010 - 10:07 pm 3 Comments

I want to start an online radio show type thing where I play my music for others to enjoy and comment on some songs. Does anyone have a lot of experience with this so they can tell me the things I need, and how to get listeners? I don’t know much about advertising or radio at all but I really have a passion for music. I’m 17 and in the US if that means anything.

Any creative ideas are welcome too

The copyright fees will be very expensive…more than $1000 a year. Knowing about music has ZERO to do with radio.

How do I download music from internet radio streams to MP3?

April 20, 2010 - 10:07 pm 4 Comments

I listen to some radio stations on the internet and want to download it into MP3 format?

I dont want to record it and just sound terrible. I want MP3 quality?

Have looked everywhere and can only find programmes which record internet radio stations and not directly off internet websites.

Thanks for the help

My first choice is: Radiotracker!

Radiotracker is a Windows Software tool that contains a data base of nearly 50,000 Internet Radios of 80 music genres. The Clou: with the so called wish list you can define the songs and artists that Radiotracker should record automatically. You can select the artist and their music from the integrated data base with round about 100,000 artists and press the start button.

Afterwards Radiotracker will automatically record the music of your list as MP3, WMA or AAC file and save the track on your hard disk. The recorded music file will be automatically tagged with ID3-tags, Cover Artwork and Lyrics.

Radiotracker is very popular and I like it as best Internet Radio Recorder very well.

What is the typical reception range between 2-meter Amateur handheld radios?

April 16, 2010 - 10:22 pm 2 Comments

I’d like to know the typical range I could expect between two similar 5-watt radios (without the use of a repeater) in a typical urban environment with moderate trees and buildings.

hand held to hand held, urban location, VHF – FM….. perhaps 5 miles. Both antennas must be perfectly vertical to prevent polarization loss.

Remember that VHF and UHF is line of sight communications, with some really rare exceptions.

What range of radio frequencies are civilians allowed to listen to on radio scanners?

April 16, 2010 - 10:22 pm 2 Comments

I want to buy a quality radio scanner, and am looking for a scanner that can detect all legally allowable frequencies. Anyone know what all the legally allowable frequencies are and perhaps a radio scanner that can pick up all of them or close to all of them? An answer would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

you are allowed to listen to any frequency that the scanner can receive.

Scanners are required to hardware block cellular frequencies, so scaners do not and cannot be modified to, listen to cell freqs.

The rules still exist for listening to communications. The Communications Act of 1934 still exists. You may listen to anything, you may not utilize third party information, what you hear, stays with you.

There are exceptions, broadcast radio is exempt, hobby services are exempt, unlicensed services are exempt.
