Today I learned about how easy it is to make an induction antenna.
I
recently purchased a Belkin FM Tunebase with ClearScan. Its an iPod
charger also. When I received it, the reception was horrible and there
was lots of static. It was totally unusable. After searching around
online, I found a post that suggested an induction antenna. It said you
could make an induction antenna just by wrapping the wire around the
unit.
After
a few windings, the static completely went away. Belkin should include
12 inches of electrical wire with the FM Tunebase, since the product is not usable without the wire windings. I had no idea where
they mounted the transmitter, so I wrapped the entire product with
electrical wire. It probably amplifies signals going back to ground,
which then go to the radio.
