Signal booster for portable Radio
Discussion
Hi
My elderly mother in a care home. I have bought her a simple portable and mains radio. It's a type suitable for elderly or those with dementia. I set it up at my house and it's good. I delivered it to her today and it can't get a signal on Digital and weak on FM. It has a simple retractable aerial and no other inputs or outputs. Talking to the home today, building in concrete and steel framed , very poor reception in all rooms . My phone does not work there either. The radio has to be very very simple for her to manage. Is there some kind of booster system I can add. She has the radio by a window. Everything I searched just now appears to need to plug into the radio. It has no inputs. Any suggestions welcome.

You could try one of these, it clips to the aerial and is retractable.

Thanks all. I have ordered the gadget let's see .
The radio itself has to be super simple. It basically has a big on and off, a big volume and three preset stations .
The reception is poor though. I don't think it has mono FM.
The TV has radio but unfortunately she is unable to take on the notion of radio on a TV.
Internet radio is a good call, but holy fish they are expensive.
Thanks for the suggestions.
