I'll assume that the window has some type of aluminized mylar coating,
which is blocking the signal. If you can remove this coating, the
signal should go through the window. If the window does NOT have a
aluminized mylar coating, then the location of your test radio is not
ideal for passing the signal through the window. If possible, try to
relocated it. If not possible, attach an external antenna to the test
radio, drill a hole in the wall somewhere, pass the coax cable through
the wall, and attach an external antenna.

Thanks Jeff!
Their is one thing more I would like to know, if you are aware of any
device, say USB, which can amplify the signal.
Is that a possibility.
Regards

No. Repeaters and "range extenders" as usually stand alone devices
that run on AC power (through a wall wart). I don't know of any that
will run off of USB. However, if the power consumption is fairly low,
and it can run on the 5VDC 1A that a USB jack can supply, then you
might be able to kludge something.

>Is that a possibility.

Is that a questions? If it is, then the answer is no. I'm not a big
fan of "range extenders" whether powered by AC, solar, or USB.

Okey, I plan to invest in a range booster (I'll go for AC one).
Any suggestions which one's should I go in for.
I tried searching it on the internet, but their are to many of them to
choose from.
Thanks
