If you're on a computer, you already have everything you need for internet radio, no purchase necessary - go to the website of the station you want to hear and click their "Listen Live" link, I'm listening a local radio station right now as I type this on my laptop.. (and if you get bored, listen in on tens of thousands of radio stations from around the world on Reciva: https://www.reciva.com/)
This is part of the joy of a netbook; you can tune in online to your radio station of interest, set the computer to remain on with the lid closed, and presto, you now have a lovely small table radio with no wires and perfect reception..
Netbooks are cheating :mecry:
I apologize that I have not come back for so long, I have been rather busy. You have all been very helpful.
I have not yet bought the C-Crane antenna. Do you know if the C-Crane is capable of helping old tube-radios? None of them have ferrite rods. My table-top Westinghouse has the inch-wide coil of wire on the back of the case. My Philco is capable of connecting an antenna directly, the Westinghouse is not. Both radios suffer from poor reception. They both have good sound, with the Philco having unparalleled sound on AM.
I am still considering the C-Crane for my S350DL, but if I could use it on tube-radios, that would give me another reason to buy it.
As far as expanding FM reception, which I mentioned a long time ago, I can not connect a rooftop antenna, so I am stuck with little antennas, amplifiers, etc.
