Step 1
If you have a radio with a telescoping antenna, fully extend the antenna and rotate it to different angles.
-
Step 2
If you live in a big city or mountainous area, move the radio to the place in your home that has the fewest large obstacles between you and the radio station's transmitter.
-
Step 3
Switch from stereo to mono.
-
Step 4
With a receiver or tuner, connect a wire-loop or T-shaped dipole FM antenna to the back of your unit. Move the antenna until you get the cleanest signal. Use a signal-strength meter or display to gauge signal strength if your unit has one.
-
Step 5
Alternatively, upgrade to a third-party passive or powered antenna.
-
Step 6
Install a rotatable roof antenna for the best possible reception. Connect your unit to an existing television roof antenna for the next-best alternative.

on 11/22/2005 For the ultimate FM reception, go to Radio Shack and buy a RF/cable converter(under $5).
Crystal-clear reception. Your cable company reassigns the stations to new frequencies, so ask them for a chart that lists your local stations, or just scan the dial.
