Slate don't have a radio. Get over it please. I know you can use a phone as a radio to listen to music. What is the best way to pickup(no pun int

Not all phones have radios, but those that do it's only fm, not am, and you have to use an external antenna that plugs into the headphone jack; on phones without headphone jack then into usb-c port with an adapter. You can use a pair of headphones as an antenna, or buy dedicated anetennas for 5-10$ (like https://www.amazon.com/ENUODA-Sections-Telescoping-Engineering-Electronics/dp/B0185KMVOO for example)....

You can also just use a 3.5mm aux cord to plug into the speaker, that works as an antenna too and then you get full volume from the external speaker.

Very good point. And that also eliminates the bluetooth pairing hassle.
