Yes I had the earphones in. I susoect most of the time I have too much metal around me. The train and even the building I work in has a lot of metal structure. The onlt time I could see the radio being useful to me is when travelling by train.
I do realise this is a sort of bonus featyre and not a serious attempt to provide on onboard radio. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/13/06 05:27pm >>> HI, graham Did you have headphones on at the time? The headphone cord acts as an antenna. Of course, it also depends on where the FM transmitters are in relation to you. Unlike AM which goes line of sight, FM waves are vertical,so you need a lot more transition power (and usually that means more transmitters, rather like cell phone repeaters) to get the same result.

Even there I have to stand in one leg with my head up the chimney. Does it just work in NewZealand? Smile. Oerhaps there are a different flavour of radio waves down there.
