From: lockmaven on 29 Mar 2010 17:56 Hi Group, The apartment I live in has thick concrete walls, floor, and ceiling. Over the years I've tried several different receivers but all to no avail. I'd like to buy a better quality AM FM receiver, and would appreciate any and all recommendations of particular brands and models which are known to perform well under adverse conditions. thanks for your help.

Can you hang an antenna out the window? It may make a world of difference. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com

For FM it only has to be a few feet (fraction of meter) of wire. I've got a 80's JVC receiver that came with an AM antenna that's only several loops of wire on a bobbin with perhaps a 6" (15 cm.) diameter. Works great here in the sticks. George H.

Buy a car radio and a suitable 13.8V powerssupply and put the antenna outside if possible or in one of the windows if not. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net --- |
