Radio... ok. But not strong signal.

[andrewmazlim]

Hello, folks.
I bought it few days ago - no mp3 files yet, because I'm waiting my 32GB card to import them there - so I'm using the radio.
I found my favorite stations easily and all are fine,... if I'm not MOVING my hands or something (and holding J3). If I'll do it, I have noise (little)... And of course, don't have to mention the SUBWAY (I have serious noice and I can't hear my stations when the cars leaving the platform)...

Any help? WHAT's makes the difference with the signal? What is responsible for it? The EARPHONES?

Asked and answered, yea the earphone cable is the antenna, I doubt it works good in a subway, should work best stationary.

So, buying a decent pair of earphones (over 40-50 pounds), the signal would be far better, right?

I think it would be more accurate to say the longer the earphone cord, the better the potential reception.

Really??? Never thought that - 'bout the length of the cable!!!

Longer cable means theoretically better reception, but it depends also on exact location and position of it - sometimes if you move it a couple of inches (raise, lower or change the direction) it can change the quality of signal a lot. Holding a cable in a hand can also influence reception. One more thing - if it's possible, changing receiver mode to mono can help with poor signal level (sound will be mono of course, but it will be much clearer).
