     I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I might increase the 
reception range of my car FM radio. I always seem to find myself living
in the fringe reception areas of cities (New York, now Philadelphia) and
I would like to listen to stations from the city. On some days stereo   
reception is fine, but usually it is unpleasantly noisy. I tried the
Radio Shack FM signal booster (6 dB I believe) and it had virtually no  
effect. I will welcome any suggestions, even if it means a new radio-
the one I have is a lousy dealer-installed one, which does not even allow
you to disable the stereo and listen in mono to reduce noise!
