BIGJIMMY Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 On a slightly different note, as I mentioned before I live in Soi Siam Country Club, just down the road from SP 5, i'm having terrible luck getting most signals now, 103, 105, 96 - all FM, I've tried moving the antenna from the stereo but it makes no difference, if I were to buy a longer antenna cable and plug that into the back of the stereo and get it as high as possible - will that make much of a difference? Thanks in advance. Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGJIMMY Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 There is a dedicated FM socket, I have it plugged in and it goes up as high as possible up the wall, the signal on all FM radio's this morning is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A omni directional ariel looks like a halo and a directional looks similar to a tv ariel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I have a really hard time getting FM signals also down here near the Ambassador. I have that single wire antenna and stretch it up as far as I can. I guess the next step is to mount one outside and as high up as I can...

BIGJIMMY Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) It's a shame but I'm really just bored of this now, we've been in our house here for nearly 5 years and i've never had a regular and decent consistently signal, I enjoy all of the local western stations but they JUST DONT WORK where we live ANYMORE, I have better music on my iTunes and now that I have a nice long decent cable from my Mac to the stereo i'm sticking with Radio 2 and Jazz FM via the net.

Ta ra Bigjimmy I did a drive thru on SSCC Road the other day and we were good all the way thru BUT, and its a big but, cars have antenna boosters in them I think. which is why u can often get a station in your car, outside your house, but not inside. we live the other side of the lake and can get 103 on a little tranny radio in the kitchen, but not in the living room.

BIGJIMMY Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I tried it again just now and I can get a couple of the local western stations but 103 and 105 are just crackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
