I use to be able to listen to FM radio through the web at work but the network police have shut that down. Now I want to purchase an FM radio so I can listen to the stations the old fashion way. The only problem is the reception where I am is not so great. I am not close to the window and more towards the center of the building. I brought in an RCA analog portable that I had bought a few years back but that didn't seem to pull in my stations.


Should I consider a good digital radio(e.g. sangean dt-300) with the hopes it could pull in the signal from where I sit? Or perhaps rigging up some sort of antenna? I see some of these offerred online. My last thought was if there was a wireless device that I could place near a window that could transmit FM signals back to my desk radio that would be optimal but I doubt such a device exists. Any recommendations on any of these options would be greatly appreciated!


Peter,

1 - Take the portable RCA Analog AM/FM Radio and wrap
several turns of your telephone line around it.
? Does your FM Radio reception improve ?
Then your problem is solved.

2 - Take your portable RCA Analog AM/FM Radio and walk
with it to the nearest Window.
? Does your FM Radio reception improve ?
Then an FM Antenna near the Window may help.

3 - Use Two FM Radios and place One near the Window
with an FM Re-Broadcaster Tuned to an local FM Radio
Station who's Frequency is not in use.http://www.ccrane.com/radios/fm-tran...ansmitter.aspx

enjoy listening to your radio ~ RHF

The Kaito 1103 has excellent FM and audio, and reputedly the 1101 and
1102 do, too. Your best solution, however, is probably recorded FM, as
another poster noted.
