Tips For Best FM Reception

CBEar · 08-11-2005, 04:26

How do you get the best FM reception? Especially for recording.

I tried last night and overall I was very pleased, however at some points the signal randomly would be interfered with by some other stations. It was a local station so I wasn't barely receiving it.

Any suggestions/tips for getting fairly consistent clear reception?

Use an extension cable for the headphone and keep it straight as possible.

Can't even get static from the channel I listen too.

In my oppinion the X5 has really good FM radio when i compare with all my other mp3/fm radios, I almost never get any distortion/static etc. the antenna is usually the headphone cord so try to experiment with that, like Erasure4ever said or somthing else.

My fault is I only listen to one local independent station so they don't have the same strenght Mhz antenna and the junk stations. Luckily they stream online as well.
