[QUOTE="spiney, post: 169528, member: 192438"] Sounds like a rod aerial. Get a length of (any!) wire several metres long, take one end and wrap 9-10 turns around the rod aerial, then experiment with moving the wire around, reception of some stations should improve for some wire positions. (the wire can be insulated, or not, doesn't matter). Otherwise, radio peformance is limited by the tuner front-end design, more expensive is better. Or yes, you can use a proper fm Yagi aeiral, but is it worth the expense? If getting fm multiplex stereo, then that will be noisy, whatever you do. [/QUOTE]
