station directly onto the P.C ? Does it possible to receive radio waves? Using without no hardware?

To receive an FM radio station on your computer, you would need a piece of hardware that can receive radio broadcasts. Many stations now broadcast over the internet, so you can receive a live feed from their website. Or you could sign up for XM radio online. It's not FM, but its way better.

not sure if you've heard of Winamp or not, but it has an impressive radio/net tuner built in.. even does satelite radio.. one of my favorite audio applications.

Concentrate on the antenna -- not the transmitter.\n\nCheck out the homebrew antenna shootout http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/has.html  This guy made an antenna out of a pringles can that read 87db at 1120'

Yes. A satellite signal will go through glass and plastic but not solid objects and it will bounce of metal objects. It is possible you might recieve a slight loss in signal strength

Yes!\n\nAs it turns out, radio waves are nothing more\nthan the propagation of electrical and magnetic\nfields through space--the E & M fields perform\nan intricate dance around each other and fly\nthrough space.  So yes, you can transmit\nenergy through the air and "catch it" with\na receiver antenna. That's exactly\nwhat a microwave oven does:  the business\nend of a microwave is a transmitter and antenna,\nand the food is the receiver.\n\nI suspect the energy needed to propel\na car-sized vehicle, however, would involve \ndangerous amounts of power.  Any bird, pet,\nor human which passed between transmitter and\nvehicle would be zapped.  Streets\nwould be littered with smoking corpses, and\nyou'd smell BBQ all day.\n\nBut hey, BBQ ain't a bad thing!

The amp is only going to help a little bit.  What you would need would be repeaters set up along the outer range where the signals fade.  A 10 mile span would need quite a lot of repeaters and is a serious undertaking.

I would have to say try the broadband see if you get any reception which you should or if not you might need to purchase a radio with the international frequency ranger that should do the trick to local radio stations and try the e bay to purchase one of these babies

The station generates the signal.  The carrier wave has to be at the specific frequency for which they are licensed, and can not deviate from that any more than standard modulation is allowed.  They are also licensed for how much broadcast power they use.

I have seen two antennas on many laptops just for that reason. I live in a big city with lots of towers and did not need to do that. It will not hurt any thing and you would only be out a few bucks, so its worth a try.

Yea get one of those little satelite phones that can hook up.\n\nI seen them being used on cnn for reporting news and such.\n\nGood luck\n\nstef

Best Buy sells them. They are like a miniature satellite dish that beams the signal. I have never tried one but I hear they work well.

i doubt you have to install an internal antenna in a laptop. all laptops prepared for an internal mini pci wireless card have the antenna already integrated. you cannot do that yourself, because the antenna is built-in in the rear side of the screen.\nin case you have a pcmcia wireless card you don't need an antenna, it's already integrated in this type of cards.

search for a trans receiver system operating in 2.4 GHZ  ism band ,,,, no licences required for this band for a transmitter of power less than 1 watt

Hook up your computer to a radio transmitter.

You of course put the reciever somewhere closer to the computer!\n\nIf this helps, please pick as the best answer.
