I tried it both with an iBook and a PC laptop while walking outside around the house in case I had a noisu appliance or something.
#RADIOSHARK. UPDATE#
The latest software update helped a bit but the sensitivity was still poor. "I had a Radioshark with bad AM reception (very noisy, could barely hear the strongest stations). Replacement unit better? As we noted in yesterday's coverage, a replacement unit from Griffin didn't fix the problem for the reader in question however, Eric Ross appears to have had much better luck in swapping his RadioSHARK out for a new one: I do have a very long mini-8 wire connected, but it improved reception almost not at all." I know of no Radio Shack item that would work since the antenna needs to terminate in a mini-8 male plug. I asked him for what, but he didn't know. He said they were sending people to Radio Shack. But he had no idea if an antenna from Griffin was in the works. "I talked with a less than knowledgeable rep from Griffin at Macworld last week, who said that did have an AM antenna connection. Griffin aware of the problem AM antenna may help Reader Len Wines evidently spoke to someone from Griffin last week at Macworld Expo about this issue he was told that an AM antenna might help with reception, but wasn't told where such an antenna might be purchased: I know the stations are capable of reception as I have no problem on any other radio (they are local Denver stations)." FM seems to work fine, but AM is garbled, if there is reception at all. "Craig Watters: I have the same problem with AM reception as Doug Weiss. A typical response comes from Craig Watters: Most note that other AM radios work fine in the same location, and that FM reception using the RadioSHARK is good. We've since received a good number of additional reports from other readers, all confirming this issue.
Yesterday we noted a report from a reader experiencing extremely poor AM performance with Griffin Technology's RadioSHARK (a combination hardware tuner/software package that allows you to "TiVo" radio on your Mac).
