Is this something I can use for Short Wave listening?

Without a lengthy lesson in antenna technology I'll give you the 'short' answer - no. To receive shortwave properly you need a very long wire antenna up to 100' long - and the radio of course. You can do a folded design, it'll have 100 or more feet of wire for the best reception. There are specialized antennas called Yagi's - they can get very expensive fast and most are capable of transmitting as well as receiving. You might be able to get away with stringing a wire antenna inside your attic. Radio Shack used to sell a good inside/outside wire antenna for shortwave cheaply and it worked well. I have one.

Several different kinds of long wire antenna. Check the shortwave listening websites on the net.

I am not a good person to ask but I will take this opportunity to share my experience with it. I purchased it for enhanced am\fm radio reception. The description said it can be plugged in or just placed near the radio. The plug didn't fit my radio and placing it near the radio made no difference. I returned it for a refund.

I don't think this antenna is built for anything but the AM commercial radio frequencies.

Yes, that is what I use one of mine for. I have a computer that feeds two completely separate left/right speaker systems. Although some earlier reviews stated that this actually split the audio into a left and a right channel, it actually duplicates left and right in both outputs as I expected. You can easily verify this by plugging in stereo ear buds into each output and moving the audio balance from left to right.

Yes, but make sure the amp is rated for digital signals over the air and is capable of at least 12db amplification to bring in those fringe stations. 24db or 36db is even better. Don't expect all local channels to come in, and weather (especially wind and snow) will have detrimental affects on your signal-but what the heck, it's free!

I thinks if it has output and plug compatible with the Wave input. Suggest you double check the specs of both. (The WAVE is unbelievable in sound quality!)

Yes you can. It has an AM/FM Radio. I haven't listened to the radio, but if it works as well as the player, it should be fine for casual listening

You could try to use something like the Rocketfish universal or Amphony 1600 wireless rear speaker kit.

Well, yes. Recognize that as a single speaker it will integrate left/right channels into monaural. Small price to pay. I use mine to take any of my audio feeds (TV, computer streaming audio, CD, etc) to locations where I need the portability (like working in my garage).

Hi, I would not use this for "quality" listening, but I use it for exercising and it's great for that. I can hear the music clearly, but if you're looking into listening to every nuance of the music (such as that you want in classical music), I wouldn't purchase this for that.

I think you can but I was unable to find a clear "empty" FM station. When using this, I could always hear background noise, static, etc.

I bought it for its digital recording capabilities, to take oral histories from family members. I don't know about radio listening capabilities; the packaging does not list this feature, although it may be able to record a radio broadcast.

I'm using it for a donkey kong cabinet speaker, so I probably wouldn't be the best person to ask about frequency response. It works great though. :)

This receiver is rather dead on reception of shortwave ! There are many more sensitive receivers you could buy for the same amount spent on this model!

you would be able to do this if you bought a small headphone preamp to go with it. That is primarily how I listen and highly recommend it.

I think you can, I've never tried that low freq. Try turning persist on. It will capture the wave form and hold it on the screen. I'm enjoying my machine and it does everything I need...right now.

yes ,,, I mainly use the "Time Machine" for delay and reverb ... at low settings you can get some analog reverb ... Try delay at 2 1/2 ....Feedback at 3 ...Mix at 3 1/2 ...cw

I don't know for sure. I would highly recommend using the SPDIF (coax) rather than the optical, though for better sound.

Probably a stupid question, can this be used for audio signals? : ie. for wireless headphones?
