radio with a strong tuner

philstar · 2012-09-25 12:56:16

My old man is an avid listener of bbc radio 4 LW, but the reception is poor of late he's using a regular table top portable radio....is there any radio out there on the market with a stronger receiver that could improve the reception?? Thanks in advance Phil.

Does he know that swivelling the radio around can improve reception? Turn the radio around on the table until the reception is at it's worst, then turn it through 90 degrees, this ensures that the antenna is facing the transmitter.

It may also be useful to have it close to an east-facing window. The main transmitter (Droitwich) is about 20 miles SW of Birmingham.
