Thomas,
Have noticed a few posts recently about Internet radio, the most recent about the C. Crane version.
I own the C. Crane radio and an Ocean Digital, and both use the Skytune aggregator.
Frequently, stations will just stop working, and while I have had limited luck using the inspect function in Chrome to see the HTML code, it’s not a sure thing. Recently, while trying to repair a feed, I stumbled across this on the Skytune Facebook page.
By using the Radio stream URL search engine, you can enter the station call sign, and it will show you the streaming link, which you can copy and enter into the Skytune radio by using its local IP address on your network.
I have corrected several today and added a few stations that are not listed on Skytune, and I thought others would find this useful.

Thank you so much for the useful tip, Rich!

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following update:
A follow-up to my post last month: https://swling.com/blog/2026/03/is-nasional-fm-on-shortwave-full-time/
I am now hearing RTM regularly on shortwave on both 11885 kHz and 15295 kHz through Kiwi SDR’s located in Southeast Asia and Australia. As Timm Breyel pointed out, programming seems to be in Chinese on 11885 with IDs noted as “Sabah V FM” at the 52-second and one-minute mark of the attached recording. Voice announcements on 15295 continue to be in presumed Malaysian, but identification can be heard as Nasional FM at the 6:05, 6:14, and 6:20 marks of the second recording. These are both coming from the Kajang Transmitting Station near Kuala Lumpur. It will be interesting to see how far afield their signal can be heard.
Sabah V FM April 2, 2026 on 11885 kHz at 0128 UTC:
Nasional FM April 2, 2026 on 15295 kHz at 0255 UTC:
