Hi
Can someone help me with a solution to my AM radio problem. I have
just
replaced a cheap clock radio with an expensive and much better
sounding one.
The aim was to improve sound quality ( which it has done) and reduce
the
interference from ADSL modem ( which it hasn't). This is a
reasonably
expensive clock radio, with no external AM aerial connection. Being
used
bedside, it needs to be oriented so that you can see the clock face.
Of
course Murphy's law prevails, and the ideal orientation for seeing
the
clock, dial etc is at almost exactly 90 degrees to the ideal
orientation for
best reception. In the "best reception" orientation the ADSL
interference
is minimal, and quite acceptable to the radio's owner.

Re-arranging the bedroom layout to suit the radio isn't an option,
and the
radio's owner really likes the AM programming. So I'm looking for
another
solution.

Is it possible to have some sort of external aerial ( I'll avoid
even trying
to spell the ant..... word correctly ), feeding via co-ax to a coil
or
perhaps ferrite rod, close to the clock radio? We are about 30 km
from the
main transmitter of interest, ( 774 Melbourne 50kW ) so signal
strength
outside house should not be a problem.

Suggestions welcome.

David





A bit of lateral thinking perhaps?

Why not either move your ADSL modem, or wrap it in cooking foil and
earth the foil?
