UL Regional Radio

It may be the specific client implementation (Android) or it could be your coverage. On the rare time that I have a problem in the Lake Travis area (west of Austin), it is because I am driving through some steep hills.

It's definitely the app. Radiopup seriously needs to be retooled so that it works way more efficiently

What I meant is that the client specific implementation for Android may have more problems than iOS (the source code has differences). This is quite common in cross-platform applications, especial on mobile devices. I am not having these problems on iOS 5.

No offense but you old guys need to get with the times. The range of your radio broadcast is really not that important in this age of online audio and video streaming. KPEL can only reach a few hundred thousand people. Streaming via computer and smartphone literally gives billions of people access to audio and video broadcasts of UL games.

It's not hard to find a free smartphone these days. Time to join the new century.

1420 barely reaches Breaux Bridge.

Many times I can hardly hear 1420 4 miles from the tower

The issue in this new century is bandwidth not signal.

Internet packages are prepurchased (not prepaid) and not always with unlimited bandwidth. So (if accurate) for a station to purchase a peak bandwidth package takes a commitment that will cost them during the slow periods.

Oooo ok I got you. That is a good point. I have ios 5 as well, but for some reason it works poorly on mine. It just doesn't do a good job when traveling, even in good reception area.

radio pup works best when stationary and not traveling by car. I had no problems with it working on my android phone through 18 holes on the golf course yesterday. What a great round of golf it was

Maybe some people don't want a smartphone nor a computer but would rather listen to the game on radio. New technology doesn't always work as promised(see comments on radiopup). Maybe if the young pups knew how to work a sliderule instead of a programmable calculator we wouldn't be so far behind the rest of the world in education.

Well I guess that's your choice. But if you aren't willing to embrace the technology that allows you full access to UL sports anywhere you go then I think you lose the right to complain about not having UL sports anywhere you go.

I'm on the road half the year with work and it's really great to be able to listen to and watch UL games even when I'm in say Ohio, Texas, or 100 miles out in the Gulf. But that's just me.

If you must know I was in a situation where I didn't have access to a computer and my smartphone was dead. I was driving!!!! Pretty sad situation when you can't listen to a baseball game while driving over the basin from a radio station 25 miles away.
