Can A Philco 90 Be Modified to receive a frequency of 1540KC
#10

If your favorite station on 1540 kc has a website that streams their audio, you can connect a computer to an AM transmitter set to a lower frequency, and then transmit the audio to any AM radio in your house.

If the website's audio feed (assuming they offer streaming audio) is of good quality, you won't lose any "tone quality."

Of course, if the station does not offer streaming audio on its website...or if it does not even have a website...then you're out of luck.

When I acquired a Talking House transmitter, I set it to transmit at 660 kc. Two reasons why:
  • There are no AM stations within 100 miles of here operating at 660; and
    any AM radio I own can pick up the signal, even the older ones such as the 90 which does not tune above 1510 kc.[/list:u]

    I have a computer hooked up to my Talking House transmitter, and usually I have it set to play big band music. Occasionally, though, I set it up to retransmit Michael Savage or Armstrong & Getty when I'd rather hear talk radio.
