Got removed from playstore. Good app (that didn't record anymore while listening). When reinstalling it noticed it's gone from the playstore. So I'm looking for my boy, Radiodroid2
This is a weird ask from something like this but is there a way to connect your phone to an old FM/AM radio? I just got these really cool headphones from like the '70s and was curious if there's anything I can do 😭

Hi all, I’m new to radio tech and all. Been looking for a solid portable music radio, not too heavy (<1lbs), with good sound quality.
I’m wondering if I should get an analog or digital radio. From my understanding analog does better in rural areas, but digital has clearer sound. If I intend to use the radio camping for example, would analog be the right decision? I’d hate to get a radio that cuts out constantly. Thoughts? Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working part-time at SiriusXM for a little while now, mostly on shows I’m not passionate about. I’ve always dreamed of working full-time in radio, ideally in music or entertainment news. I’ve got solid experience—I was a college radio DJ for 4 years, a technical operations manager for 2 years, and general manager my last year. It took me a year after graduation to land this job, but unfortunately, it’s still not full-time.
I’d love to find a producer role, though I wouldn’t mind being on-air. My passion is hip-hop and entertainment, and I’d prefer to work on the east coast.
Do any of you have advice on how I can break into a full-time role? I’d really appreciate tips on navigating the industry and making connections, especially for jobs related to music or entertainment!
Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
For example, on aircraft 121.5 is used everywhere in the US, but you can only hear things close to you.
How does this work if it’s the same frequency
Also one is CB radios. If you drive from New York to like Kansas do you have to keep changing it?
Sorry if this is the wrong group to ask but I’m not sure if this is for a radio or something else, one of the previous owners of my 1987 Porsche 924s put it in and I’m not sure what it would hook up to. The wires cut off right away inside and the car already has the original antenna on the front fender for am/fm radio. I also found some wires under the dash that used to be hooked to something but have been cut too. If anyone could tell me what this type of antenna would be used for that would be great!
Just got this America Series Thomas radio at a thrift shop. Has some trouble tuning and controlling volume. Was wondering how my board looked. Anybody see anything obvious that would be a problem? Model number BD 109A. Thanks
Several radio stations have tragically been taken off the air by a helicopter crashing into the antenna tower. KQUE FM, AM 1230 KCOH, KLTN "Que Buena 102.9" and KAMA "Latino Mix 104.9" were reportedly on this tower. More info in r/houston
And why is it baseball ;)
I should say are any stations that aren’t news talk still taking live calkers I used to listen to Delilah with a friend when I was younger and recently I rediscovered her show but it’s clear all the calls are banned and just loafed into automation I miss live call in shows looking for suggestions or is it dead
The following video compares the effect of a wire antenna on a Degen DE1133 and on a XHDATA D-808. It makes a huge difference on the first and nothing os the second.
Can anybody explain what might be the reason.

Is there a software to make a coverage planning so that we know the ideal place for the radio vhf repeater and the extent of its coverage before installing it?
If not, why? I feel like it would be a useful tool for people wanting to hike in more remote areas like mountain ranges and national parks
Hi,
For whatever reason New Zealand’s contemporary radio station ZM has geo-locked its broadcast.

Anyone know of a working url I can stream on my internet radio ?

Hello,
I'm hoping to use three or four of these short range personal FM transmitters for an art project and was wondering if anyone can advise about the legality of doing so? They would be transmitting 100% original sound material.
