[QUOTE="jeremyr62, post: 902636, member: 6011"] One of the reasons I bought the G4 was for the FM radio. The RDS feature made me think it might actually work OK. Big mistake. It's absolute rubbish. I even tried extending the aerial by soldering a wire onto the speaker connections and making this quite a bit longer and running it down my back (as an experiment). Made very little difference. I just think it's a crap radio. Having said all of that I have tried other radios and all seem limited by the aerial. I now have a flexible rubber type aerial attached to the rear of the bike and this feeds into a decent FM portable with an external aerial socket. I then output this by wire into the 3.5mm input on the base unit of the G4. Works a lot better. Surprised the Q2 is better than the G4. You really sure about that seeing as they have the same short aerial? [/QUOTE]
