Objects blocking the signal of radio frquencies to your antenna is a common cause of poor radio reception. If you have a small radio setup, try moving it toward a more open area (such as toward a window or less enclosed area). This may help the antenna to pick up the radio waves. If your building has concrete or mortar walls, then the frequency is reduced and alot will need to be done to pick up the freuquencies. In this case, you can invest in an outdoor antenna if you listen to your radio alot. Go to any electronics store and ask them to help you pick some wire (there are different types for FM/AM/UHF/VHF etc.). If your radio runs on batteries, try investing in a better set top, as the batteries alone may not generate enough power to recieve the transmissions. Hope this helps

You can improve the FM reception in your house. If your house is located in a good reception area then check the location of your radio or add a small external antenna. If you are located a distance from the stations, or have obstruction between you and the station other measures need to be taken. Purchace a splitter for your TV antenna that splits off the FM signal (better than small wire antenna). Put up a small outside FM antenna or TV antenna and spilt off the signal. Consider an amplifier AFTER trying the new antenna Signal reception is about height,line of sight, and metal in the air. ( oh..certain lenghts of wire are better) But hey, but what do I know

If you are using cable television, you may find that local radio stations also provide a feed over the cable or the cable company rebroadcasts them from their own antenna. I have not been impressed with the audio (or video) quality of analog cable services, but the two that I have used both carried radio along with the television channels.
