Improve radio reception: These are the options you have

Nowadays, radios are usually used in cars. If the reception is too poor, you won't get all the stations or you will hear a lot of static. Regardless of whether you listen to the radio from home or on the road, there are various options you can choose from to improve reception.

How to improve your radio reception

You can listen to the radio both from home and on the go. For this, you just need the right device and good reception. Especially on the road there are often problems, whereby you receive only a few stations or hear a strong noise. To improve reception, you can take several steps.

1. Switch your radio, if possible, from stereo to mono. This can improve the reception and thereby the station quality.
2. If it is a mobile radio, you can artificially extend the antenna using aluminum foil. Alternatively, you can use a wire.
3. Try to search the stations manually instead of using the automatic station search.
4. In addition, you can connect an external telescopic antenna with about 35 cm to the radio. This is only possible if the radio has a corresponding connection.
5. About an antenna amplifier you can also amplify the radio signal. Diese wird für gewöhnlich mit einer Steckdose und Ihrem Radio verbunden.
6. Handelt es sich bei dem Radio um ein Autoradio, kann es helfen, auf ein Digitalradio umzusteigen.
