How well will this product work inside a cinder block office where a regular pocket radio will somewhat pick up a signal?

well, I do not use mine in such a location, but, I do work in just such a building. The radio i use there is of better quality like this one, but to get better reception we attached a single strand of bell wire to the antenna and ran it up past the ceiling tile and poked about two feet out through the hole the phone wire comes in and just let it hang outside. not a real good antenna, but signal was boosted enough to give us clear tuning. This radio would be a good choice to use in this way.

Hmm. This seems to get better reception than a basic pocket radio so I think you would be ok. For the money you could give it a try and see. I use mine inside my garage and reception is crystal clear.

Hello D. Deen. I work in a older 3 story building, approx 90 plus years old, made of brick and cinder block. I get good reception on the second floor. The FM is strong regardless where the radio is. The AM works better by a window and away from electronics like computers. All said I am very happy with this radio.

Not sure, but they do pull in good signal strength no matter where they are. I still have the first version, its about 40 years old and I use it at my work currently.

It depends on several factors, including height and whether you choose the hi-power option or not. I have mine in a second-floor room at lower power and it does a good job of covering roughly a two-block radius with a hand-held radio with a whip antenna. Your mileage may vary.

I have done this at a cabin and It will work as long as you run the antenna outside. However the unit is design to only transmit in an area the size of a vehicle so you had to be within like 10 feet of the inside antenna to get decent reception. Overall the unit works quite well.

Should be acceptable out of the pocket when there are heavy terestrial signals, it should work. Mostly it's not well indoors.And you need a car kit (includes the dock) of this product.

I use in an office setting. The farthest I have used it is about 20 feet and that distance was good reception.

The antenna will work "receive signals" any place, IMHO the higher its mounted the better, in attic, 2nd floor ok depends on distance from station and signal strength.If you have metal roof or siding then it probably won't work as well, RF does not penetrate metal.

I used this in the car to block road noise and it did a good job. I would say it will help out quite a bit in an office environment too.

Hi Grandmother, I am sitting in my indoor office and it works fine. It is a used Walkman, and is ideal for walking around town or sitting and enjoying FM-AM reception. I hope that I have answered your question.KRG

It really depends on how far you want to transmit. It works great within the room, regardless of line of sight. You might get some chop if you get outside of the room depending on where you have the receiver. Mine is buried behind a heavy wood dresser, so it doesn't like when I go too far outside the room. I'm thrilled with mine though, it's perfect for my purposes.

We have tested this radio, line of sight, out to 7 miles. I'd say it would work well for this application. I would suggest a throat mike for bar security. The ear peice would be valuable

Hi Marilyn, and well, I can say yes, that it can pick up stations in my building. My building is brick in the front, wood frame in the back. If you live in a high-rise, most of those types of buildings have steel framing, and just as long as you were in a building with windows, I would imagine that your reception would be fine. UPDATE: I had an idea, and I took the radio downstairs into my cellar, which is very old with very thick stone walls and heavy steel I-beams to hold up the floors of the house. The radio performed perfectly, on AM and on FM, so I can say yes, even when surrounded by heavy construction, this radio will perform.

I found that mine has short range and low volume. It works well with line-of-sight but not thru objects. Here is a good PDF on the subject: http://www1.crouse-hinds.com/wirelessio/PDF/White%20Paper/white_paper_frequencies.pdf

I'm not sure. I have used it indoors and it picks up the radio signal fairly well.

Any FM radio will receive the signal. It should work anywhere in the house.

I think whether this works for your is luck, and the placement of the device. Mine sits about a foot under the deck of the radio in an ash tray and I get slightly staticy signal, and it has worked pretty reliably for all but a week for almost a year.

I have one in my office (on wifi) and has worked flawlessly thus far. I don't use it intensely, but it has worked every time.

I have mine in a home office, up high on top of a bookshelf (about 6 ft). I get plenty of signal through 2 or 3 walls all the way at the other end of the house, and also outside in the driveway and the backyard. Easily 100 feet away in the house, more than that outside - once again through multiple walls. Important to note that these are wooden / wallboard walls with no metal studs.
