      One day, I drove out to west Texas and ended up in New Mexico. Won't ever do that again. To me, Texas Is Home!

      I avoid New Mexico as much as I can.

      Are we doing maps now? I've got one...

                  Just thought about a new project, a DIY kitchen radio. Our beloved 25 years old Siemens radio died a few days ago. It's still working, but some buttons are broken. We already tried 4 or 5 different radios, but all of them aren't good for one reason or another.

                  So, what makes a good kitchen radio in 2017?

                  • VHF / UKW (ultra-short range, standard in Europe / Germany) radio
                  • Play radio streams
                  • Easy to use timer / alarm
                  • Would like to stream from Android / iPhone to the radio (we likes to listen to music and audio books when we're preparing the meal for example).
                  • Display w/Clock
                  • Low power consumption

                  Additional ideas?

                  rPI, SDR, tube amp, home made speaker box

                  SDR would be an option, I thought more about the https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/pub/Main/DataSheets/application_note_tea5767-8.pdf

                  That's a full featured, low power radio IC. Roughly $1 at aliexpress 🙂

                    I think you mean "a full featured, low power radio IC. Roughly $1 at aliexpress for something that's labelled the same" lol

                      Just another reason for Texas to secede, but that's another topic entirely.

                        What I'm talking about is a single chip radio, including all the low level stuff.

                            NerdyDad should know this. The map of the DFW metroplex is worse.

                              Yeah, just got it 😛

                              Ali is ok, at least for electronic components etc - You just need to know exactly what you want to buy

                                    considering the cost of mail order brides that's a pretty good deal

                                            Doesn't matter, it is still full formed without those. Some news channels remove 183 so it doesnt look like one.
