The wavelength of FM broadcast signals is such that an antenna is required. A headphone cable would fulfill this requirement. I have also seen small antennas that are basically a wire cut to the required length with a plug at the end that can be inserted into the appropriate jack. I have a Sangean walkman style AM FM TV audio radio that has an external speaker. It comes with this type of antenna with a plug that inserts into the headphone jack so you can listen to the FM radio or TV over the loud speaker.

I figured it out. I plugged in some headphones and then the radio was there. I had tried the enter with S for turning the speaker on and off before , and it didn't seem to work, but everything is fine now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Menzies" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 11:42 AM Subject: [Braillenote] fm radio I just downloaded and installed version 7 for the mPower this morning. I can't get the FM radio to work at all. I hear the kind of hiss sound that you hear without a station tuned in. When I use space with dot 4 to scroll for stations, it tells me no stations are found. Other radios in the house work. I tried standing at a window in case it was a signal thing. What am I missing?
