If you live some distance from our transmitter atop Wireless Hill, in Ardross (Perth), reception will be improved (if needed) with a vertical external antenna, externally, or inside your home, such as often found on portable radios.
OR ... if you are outside the Perth metropolitan area, and cannot receive our signal, you could try "LISTEN LIVE" on the Internet from our website (look to the right (above).
And at the website you can also click on the text "LISTENING LIVE? ... WHERE FROM? PLEASE TELL US ..."
and tell us your location information, so we know where on Earth our Internet listeners are.

You can also try the following inside your home to improve reception on your radio:

If your radio has a telescopic aerial, extend it fully.
Moving the radio to another part of the room can often improve reception, particularly by placement by a window.
Turn the radio around, say, 90 degrees, this often is all that is needed.
If you have a radio or system including a radio with an FM antenna connection at the rear, then attach an FM radio antenna (normally a T shaped flat 2-wire ribbon type cable), typically available from electronics specialty shops such as Dick Smith Electronics, Tandy Electronics, etc, usually also supplied with kit when purchasing your radio. Run the antenna wiring past a window if you can.
- you could also connect this radio FM antenna connection to your TV antenna, via a TV antenna "splitter", again an item available from stores such as Disck Smith Electronics, Tandy Electronics, etc.
- however be aware the TV antenna will be pointing at the Darling Range (Kalamunda, Walliston, Bickley), not at Wireless Hill (Ardross), which may be side on to your location in comparison to the TV stations and other FM stations.
We broadcast our programmes in FM stereo, if your radio has a mono/stereo switch, switching it to "mono" may reduce background noise.

The benefits of DAB+ Digital Radio are also now yours to try and in doing so, improve reception:

You can buy a DAB+ digital radio, as we are now also be broadcasting in DAB+ Digital Radio. Any currently DAB+ digital radio available in retail stores will be able to bring you our digital radio broadcast once it begins. .It is also noteworthy to report we will still also be broadcasting on Capital 101.7FM, reflecting our on-air identification. FM radio will be the king of the radio broadcasting airwaves for 20+ years yet, the experts contend.
Many digital radio models including some under $200, also allow to to pause, rewind and record your favourite station program/s. Thus you can identify a Capital 101.7FM program you will miss hearing, and schedule it to be recorded for listening to later. Now how is that?
How to tune to us at Capital Community Radio on a digital radio? Searc or tune to find "Capital" on your display. Then "select" ous, and your radio will display "Capital Digital" or if it has a 2-line text display, "Capital Digital playing". Easy. Pretty much all DAB+ Digital radios also allow you to save your favourite stations as presets.

In car radios, the signal should be easy to pick up on the FM band in stereo throughout the Perth metropolitan area:

We hope you continue to hear us on 101.7FM
Many thanks, the team at Capital Community Radio Inc.
