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 haven't yet found a station of any kind on the longwave frequencies on this radio I bought before may. Longwave seems to be beacons where I am at if I find anything... Sometimes I wish I brought this topic it up before I went shopping, but I already said that here before. I didn't know about that one talking radio before I bought it... Anyway, I will go take a look at that TXT file and see what I think. I suspect I might not have to many radios. LOL. Even if I don't, my desk says no more. Of course my bank account agrees. LOL. Then the CCrain ones that was brought up in this topic earlier sounds nice. I am most likely more of a short wave listener than a lot people on this topic, but I cannot prove that. When I got what I got, I was looking for a good FM set that will also meet most if not all of my short wave needs within my price range. Anyway, if I had to choose today, it might just be between a CCrain and this. Is there an audio demo anywhere? Of course it will most likely not be a really good idea on how it will sound where I might put it based on the recording made along with mike placement and the like. Of course this assumes that it is recorded via the mikes on the recorder instead of hooking the recorder in to the radio... Also, from time to time, I may not know where I will have it next, so good AM and FM reception is a must for this amount of money... Hope I am not driving people nuts or mad or whatever you call it with this topic. Now for a more complete list of what I called a good radio. Good reception for the price range, sound must match reception if not better than reception, features must match the frequencies that it receives (SSB for short wave if all possible), reasonably easy to use, Antenna connections (for those times I wish to hook a different antenna in to it), speech output (if I can get it), battery power and option to power off of the AC, and the fm and AM bands here in the US and shortwave. The shortwave might be given up if the radio shows that reception on other bands are really good for the price range. At times such radio may be used to listen to local stations why hiding out in a basement if and when bad weather hits. Grant it, part of this list is a bit grey. Some of this did cross my mind back when I bought what I bought, but still this topic is proving very helpful. Hopefully, I didn’t make this post to long. Speaking of long, isn’t this over 500 words? LOL. I am a bit on the picky side when it comes to spending a lot on a good radio...
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.
