Why do you own radios?
You can stream program material on the net with a PC.
There are also general coverage SDRs available on line
you can listen to as well.

Speaking of purpose built hardware....
You're obviously on the internet.
That requires a modem and a PC or tablet or smart phone or,
God forbid, Web TV and their set top box.
Oh, and monthly subscription fees.

I'm assuming you own Teletype gear.
To do anything with it, other than talk to yourself, you need at
the least a terminal unit and a radio to listen to over the air
(RTTY)  transmissions.
Or streaming from ITTY (which also requires an internet
connection, and a PC.)

I didn't ask if you had an Amateur radio license.
