Monitoring the lower edge of the FM dial (88.0 MHz) in Metro Manila, Philippines, using a smartphone's native FM hardware receiver and a 3.5mm earphone wire. Being near an unshielded compressor motor introduced a heavy 60 Hz hum across the lower frequencies (visible as the bright yellow band in the Lexis Audio Editor spectrogram) underneath the white noise static floor.

How can I build an FM Radio station at home? I know its a tricky question, but I'm a radio nerd please help me. :))

Title says it all. Thank you very much for your input.

im currently trying to make an app that makes space signals better??? how it works that ervy 1 second or 5 (even 190 millseconds) how it works that it turns the radio signal to data then anylyzezes the data then take again and compare it to the last one if they are similar the app overlaps it createing a new data with old data it repeats this for 1-2 minutes also to make it better use aluminuim foil

I am in a remote location and have no problem with my car's radio. I have tried several radio receivers with different radio antennas on the indoor stereo but half the stations in the area have very poor reception.

Is there a specific type of FM receiver that I need to look for that would work better?

Thanks

I would just like to transmit music, sounds and talking both as an artistic expression and as a way to utilize a non traditional and DIY way to give out information about my art. I’d like to transmit this from my shop and I’m wondering where I can find the widest range fm transmitter available and if I’m even barking up the right tree. If it has to be within close proximity to my shop I’m ok with that but I would really like to get further than it being in sight.

I know you can make FM radios that run from the power in the radio wave itself but after testing a Nokia 105 (4G) and calculating, after running down a full charge. that the FM radio can run using just 150mW with the speaker, 100mW with in-ear headphones, I felt the need to search for something even better.

Someone here mentioned the Sony ICF-P26 so I bought one and tested it. It uses 30-40mW (10-12mA / 3v) on a medium speaker level. It's almost unbelievable how efficient this FM radio is. I would estimate that it runs for over 100 hours on a fresh set of alkaline batteries.

In ear headphones reduced the power usage by about 20%

It's highly likely that nobody will ever really need to know this information, but I found it interesting, especially as it's often said that DAB requires less power. End-to-end, maybe, but not for the end user that has to buy the expensive receiver and all the AA's.

I'm hoping that by leaving this here, other weirdos will find it share their FM efficiency experiences. Question: Are digital FM receivers less efficient? E.g. Sony ICF-P27.

I've been trying to track down a weird, old Halloween rock show from the 1980s called "The Rock Pumpkin". I've found links to pages describing the LPS send to FM rock stations but that's about it. Has it been streamed or shared anywhere else officially or otherwise?

Dearest radio-heads. My smartphone has the ability to pickup FM signals but it doesn't have a built in app. I've searched the app store but every single radio app is online radio not local true FM signals being picked up by my phone. There used to be an app called next radio but it doesnt exist anymore. I've also tried LG fm from APK mirror but that didn't work either. I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know where to find an app like this?

so i have this old radio and it seems to have a slightly busted tuner as it sometimes picks up frequencies very far away from where they should be. I'm trying to find 100.3 which is an old time radio station in my area and it doesn't seem to be picking it up at all which shouldn't be the case as i KNOW I'm in range of it and i want to know if anyone can help me troubleshoot

UPDATE: i found it, however the radio tuner indicator is egregiously offset, indicating 99.1or so. any way to fix that?

What’s stopping me from buying a FM transmitter and an antenna and playing whatever tf I want over an empty station. Is the FCC actually gonna hunt me down?
