N95 : Radio works without antenna

Posted by
This is what I always wanted. Play radio on phone by plugging any headset/headphone and NO ANTENNA. I connected my computer speakers directly to the N95 headset jack to listen to some MP3's on the card. I just turned Visual Radio on and to my surprise the FM worked loud and clear. This is something I have never come across earlier. Does N95 have an in-built FM receiver/antenna? I thought its necessary to plug the headset(AD-43) first which came with the N95.

Whatever, I am enjoying it at the moment :D

I posted the same on AAS forum and got a reply that
"Anything you connect will act as an antenna."

Well I didn't know that and I am sure many others also were not aware of it.

  1. Buddy ur speakers cord acted as an antena in this case, see if it works without any speaker cords just with the inbuilt speakers...

  2. Kaddy, thats what that guy replied anything attached acts as the antenna. Without any jack in the microphone socket it wont work, thats why there are posts where they say to cut short the wire of the earphones (some inexpensive ones) and then the loudspeakers would be useful, something like that ;)
