The laws of physics!

image of antenna

The laws of physics don't change just because it's "digital". Whether you're receiving DAB or DMB, indoors or outdoors, the only way to ensure good reliable reception is to feed your receiver with a good signal. If you're using a small portable receiver with a telescopic antenna, then your options are limited. You'll need to find the position in your home that produces the strongest signal. Your home is a breeding ground for clicks and splats. Most refrigerators, freezers, airconditioning units, water heaters, washing machines, etc. can produce substantial amounts of radio interference as they switch themselves on an off. But if you have a receiver with a socket for an antenna, then resist the temptation to connect it to a wire coat hanger and get yourself a good outdoor antenna. Not only will you find a stronger signal up there, but it will be further away from the sources of all those nasty "splats".
 
Receivers for FMeXTra

As a matter of fact, we know of only one receiver, and we don't yet know where you would buy one. Please get in touch if you know of any others or where they are sold. To be honest, though, there are so few broadcasters using FMeXtra, that unless you actually broadcast at the station, or you're his Mum, we couldn't at the present time recommend you buy one.

Retailers with low headline prices can often have higher delivery charges. Comparison websites usually list the lowest headline price first, but the best deal may be lower down the list.
