Reception Advice
This section has been designed to help you improve reception
of 107.2 The Wyre in weak signal areas.
107.2 The Wyre broadcasts live on FM
across Kidderminster and North Worcestershire, if you are
any distance away from our transmitter reception can be
improved using the following methods:
Improving Reception
on your Hi-Fi
Most Hi-Fi units bought these days are packed with a basic
wire or T-shaped ribbon antenna. If you have this style
of aerial try moving it around the room to improve reception.
Your Hi-Fi may also have an external
aerial socket on the back of the unit, this will allow you
to plug in an outdoor antenna in the same way as your TV
antenna goes into the back of your digibox/tv.
Any outdoor aerial will reduce interference
and improve the signal strength vastly. There are various
types of antenna available and your best to speak to a verified
antenna installer when choosing the correct one to use.
Improving Reception
on your Portable Radio
Portable radio's are mostly always supplied with telescopic
aerial, to get the best reception always make sure that
its fully extended and try adjusting its position by tilting
and swiveling the aerial around until you get the best signal.
You can also try moving the radio around
the room as FM radio reception varies greatly over short
distances, even a few feet or centimetres can make a great
difference.
Positioning your radio by a window can
also improve reception of 107.2 The Wyre. If this does not
work try switching your radio to mono.
Improving Reception on Personal Stereo's
Personal stereos and radios built into mobile phones often
use the headphone lead as an aerial, to get the best reception
make sure this is unwound fully.
Improving Reception in your Car
When listening to The Wyre in your car, you are probably
constantly moving in and out of weak and strong signal area's
due to the landscape and buildings blocking our signal.
Most car radio's will automatically switch to mono and filter
out high frequencies when the signal is weak in order to
eliminate background hiss.
If your car radio has an AF or
TP function we recommend you turn this off when listening
to The Wyre at a distance from our transmitter. This can
cause your radio to look for a better signal when the current
one becomes too weak.
