We have a couple of DAB radio alarm clocks. One of them will find
and play radio channels, albeit with a low signal strength. The
other can't get a reliable signal despite being just the other
side of the bed. Both have lengths of thin wire for aerials.

Is there anything I can do to get reception? I've moved the wire
on the difficult one up, down, left and right but got nowhere.


Yes! Try FM

Not every station we listen to is on FM...

Use a raspberry pi or other computer to listen to them on the internet



Better still buy a Roberts Stream94 and avoid ALL the awful Linux
garbage.


And what exactly do you think runs inside a Roberts Stream94?
And the router that connects you to the internet?


That's not generally a problem for the average buyer though,
unlike all the ghastly nonsense required for your 'solution'.



and the cost is? -- yes! about 10 raspberry pis.
