I don't think they would be too keen on me taping it down either. :-) Are
there any homemade solutions for antenna's that I could try. Like a length
of coaxial cable. Would that help? It could be an exceptionally weak radio.
I didn't pay alot of money for it and it is analog. If I did go with a
digital radio, does anyone have any recommendations. I was looking at the
KA1103 or the DT220. I probably don't want to spend over a $100... I thought
the KA2100 or ICF-SW7600R might be more expensive options. Any thoughts on
any of these?

A better radio will still not pick up signals that aren't there. You might
try a couple of other radios, just to see if the original one is
exceptionally weak, but don't expect miracles. FM demodulation is still
done the same way it always was, whether or not the local oscillator is
digital.

How about putting the radio at the window, and running an audio cable from
its earphone jack to a pair of powered computer speakers on your desk?
I'm guessing an audio cable is easier to set up than an antenna cable.




I'd get a BA Recepter or a Tivoli Model One (on a returnable basis), try
that. You need high-tech electronics, not toys.
