Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

I started to get voices and could hear coast to coast in the very low frequencies last night. Between 2000-3500.
So that's good.

How do I go to AM and get 5 10 and 15? Mine is like regular am...

Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

Ok, I'll try. I've totally decided something isn't right. Maybe if they said the am can use a different antenna then the shortwave is broken, although it is new and I did get one station last night,...

Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

I'm doing sometching wrong. There is a button, or switch and when I find out what it is I'm going to be just like "duh". I know it's the smallest thing I'm not doing right. I just switched through...

Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

None of the stations from Pt. Reyes or Kodiak AK are anything but fuzz! This makes no sense, that stations are supposed to broadcast around the world and I can't get anything.

Can someone please...

Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

This is a lot more complicated than I thought.

Ok, I read through the threads in post 13 and watched the video.

So here's what I understand. Depending on time of day different bands are...

Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

Ok, my boat is in San Francisco, but I am up in Oregon for the week visiting family.

I guess it is working because I did finally get one station working last night.

The house I am in now is...

Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

Wait, I figured out how to switch to 10 kHz, now I'm getting am. Apparently it was setup at the factory for Europe which is 9.

Well, none of the maritime ssb weather frequencies work. That's...

Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

Hmm, so far whenever I go to that list of stations, I just get fuzz, I went to am, but don't have the option to get 5,10,15 MHz. Just skipping between say 216,225,234 kHz and below that it says step...

Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

How do I get a station? I just want to hear one tonight. I have thousands of stations of fuzz. I can kind of, barely hear someone's voice on a couple, but nowhere near good enough to make out.

Re: Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

Oh cool, I'll look them up, what kind of antenna do I need? Do I use the sub radio. With my laptop of can I just use my laptop with an antenna?

Cheapest weather information for out of vhf range?

I am thinking this is going to be obvious. See these radios at radio shack, or I did when they were in business. About $60 and they called them single side band. I think they are the receive only,...
