If it does not work downstairs, then why not place the frame antenna
upstairs and extend the connecting lead.

Some light gauge twin flex ought to be fine.

Yes I have antenna but not the inclination to run 40 metres of wiring
through walls/doors/ceilings to get an improved signal. If there is no
alternative it will stay as a CD/cassette player.

too.

Must be very unpleasant for you living in that old air raid shelter.

The reason I asked about an ALTERNATIVE to the socket was because I
wondered if I might be able to use an existing but currently unused TV
socket for which I had already drilled an external wall. Don't fancy
drilling windows because I would then have problem of bypassing the
channels for our shutters which would mean even more drilling.

Hence my [perhaps] simplistic request about the socket alternative and
the reason why this MC118 is only used as CD/cassette player and very
happily so for the few occasions we use that room.

I am assuming no-one else has had to find the kind of alternative I am
enquiring about.
