In cases  where I know the problem is random noise, I pull the interested 
manager to  the locations of question and sit a FIM on a tripod.  When the 
FIM  hears the signal quite well and his crappy car radio doesn't, it's a  
simple example of the difference between high quality and mass  
production/cost and quality reduction.  I usually then get a blank  stare 
and a "harumph" from the PD/GSM/GM/owner when they realize it's not  the 
station most of the time.


The problem is that the masses have the crappy radios.  No matter how  sweet 
the transmitters signal is, a windshield antenna or $10 clock radio that  
can't receive the station does no one any good.
