The present invention is an apparatus and method for improving the reception of a first radio signal by receiving the first radio signal at a first frequency using a first modulation scheme and transmitting the information gleaned or received from the first radio signal onto a second radio signal at a second frequency using a second modulation scheme so it can be received in an improved manner on another receiver. Provision is made in the present invention to select the first frequency and the second frequency using a remote commander. One embodiment of the present invention utilizes an antenna that is substantially sensitive to the magnetic component of an electromagnetic wave for reception of the radio signal. Another embodiment includes a motor which is operable to rotate the antenna to improve signal reception in response to signals provided by the remote commander.
