Web SDR works great.

From the Netherlands.  You need high speed internet for this.

Works great on my iPad.
You may have to turn on audio separately.
I've called it up also on desktop computer which uses Java.

Be prepared for some culture shock though as most of the signals are other than English especially their local daytime.

The network of remote receivers at Globaltuners.com is also a great resource, although a lot of the nodes have pretty noisy locations and marginal antennas.  Paul, VJB just gave me info on how to use a smartphone to access the globaltuners receivers (I think I have all the bits here, doing it from bio-memory):

Select JavaScript as the front panel mode
Select AJAX
Select HTML 5
Start AJAX
Start audio at preferred quality/bandwidth level
Press the play arrow when it comes up.
Navigate around the control panel to operate the receiver you have connected to.
Thre will be some latency, I'm seeing about 10 sec or so typically on AT&T 4G networks

The JavaScript GUI is kind of clunky, but will work on a smartphone.  I have not been able to use the other GUIs (I typically use the Modern GUI mask on a PC or iMac) on the iPhone 4S.

You have to register on the site home page and log in for each session, but its free.  Listening to the W1TXT SE New England Node as I'm updating this post.  Just switched the receiver to 75 meters, think I'll listen to 3705 AM while I am on the way home,  Isn't technology great?

Did I get that right Paul?  Plesse fill in the details as needed.

The software program sdr-radio (sdr console) has remote radio use built in for RX.
At the top there are buttons local this computer and remote.
Click the remote, then click browse the web and a list comes up.

Some are very good, some have bad antenna's for 80 and 40 meters.

The radio is a bit compressed, not as good/fast as a local radio hookup, but works quite well.

No skype needed, everything is in the program, no sign up, no log in.

I had a good signal into Florida on 80 meters with the big rig...
Europe is a huge mess.

The experiments continue.
Speaking of Skype:
Well, upon N8vb's recommendation, I fired up TeamViewer, tm on the downstairs Ion 330 and my iPad to run the QS1r remotely from the iPad.  No additional audio link is required. Both video and audio are handled.

  Uh, it works surprisingly well if your fingers have small points and if you have a high speed router.  Working at 250mbts taxes my poor old router. The program auto-reset my ion to windows basic screen resolution with 32 colors in order to get throughput working optimally.

Even with that, the GUI is jerky on the iPad with about half or less refresh compared with the main, now controlled computer. But the audio is all there and all the modes work fine, etc.

Wierd things happen when you try to change a digit or two of freq.
It's best to set the freq. increments at 500 HZ or larger to avoid odd sets.  But way cool and I guess it's time to upgrade a lot of the internet infrastructure around here including the Ion 330 atom CPU downstairs.  That little box was actually recommended as more than sufficient back in Max II days.

Rick, you can tune into many more of those web sdrs at the link below.

Some have some very good antennas. The best two (at least for Europe and to hear some stuff from the USA) are at R.A.F. Hack Green and G4FPH. I've heard SSB stations from USA on 160 meters on the second one.

Thanks Stevereno, will give it a whirl.  Looks like lots of neat sites.  Looking specifically for ones that will work on iPad like the U. Of Twente , Dutch one first mentioned.
Tired of listening to Russian.

I have a softrock that I moved up to the AM window. I do not have alot of upload speed, so I do not advertise on websdr.  It is in test mode if you want to give it a try .
