Coaxial cables are not antennas -- they're what joins the antenna to the
radio. As a homemade antenna try a wire whip 30 inches long, vertical.


What about the C. Crane FM Reflect Antenna? I was reading an Amazon review
on this antenna and it said it was simply a dipole antenna made of high
quality coaxial cable


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?

If you don't know whether there is enough signal, there's no point in
buying one. Try another radio in the same location.





i do not know where you are working or what was in the original post,
but i found that after our building at work was made wireless, the FM on
my little earplug drug-store radio now comes in very well. Before that,
a coworker let me borrow his little Sony walkman and that pulled in the
local FM stations very well. The other option is using over-the
internet web sites of stations that broadcast over the internet, as well
as bit streamers, if you are allowed to do that at your office.
