Dean,
I am thinking about buying some stero speakers for my voicenote
qt mpower. IF I plug these into the headphone jack, will I still
get decent reception from the fm radio? Can anyone recommend any
good speakers?

Hi Scott,
This would be fine to connect. As soon as you switch to the
speaker, you
should start receiving signals. I would be interested in your
findings.

Hi dean and all,
I was just reading Jeff's message, and a thought just hit me. I
have a sangeain short wave radio, and it came with a little reel
antenna
that has an end on it that is the same as the end on the head
phones. I
believe that these can be purchased at radio shack here in the
U.S. I am
assuming that one of these will not hurt the BN, would they? I
do not have
a BN to try this out. However this would be a real solution for
the antenna
issue.
Scott

Hello All:
This question has got me curious, so I've been trying a bunch of
different
headphones on my MPower QT to try and improve FM reception. I've
actually
tried about 8 at this point and can honestly tell you, that its
not the
quality of the headphones that makes a difference, but the length
of the
cable. If any of you have gone out to your local electronics
store and asked
for an FM antenna for your home stereo, then you know how cheap
and cheesy
they can be. They are usually made up of about 4 to 6 feet of
cable that
is, I think, about 20 gage. about half the size of an average
telephone
cable.
I've strapped everything from a $3 pair of ear buds to my most
expensive
($250) studio Koss headphones to my MPower and haven't noticed
that much of
a difference here around my apartment in Lubbock. Believe it or
not, all
that being said, the best reception I'm getting is on a pair of
ear buds
from Phillips (model SBCHS320) which I think I got at Wal-Mart.
They are
very similar to the ear buds that used to be issued by Humanware
with the
classic BrailleNotes.
Now, the FM reception may not be much better, but you should hear
how
wonderful .mp3 files sound with a really good pair of headphones
on the
MPower. I don't know how they managed to get that much stereo
separation
into that little box, but I'm blown away every time I listen to a
piece with
good audio production.
hth
Jeff
