- Set the radio to a powerful FM station and turn up the volume.
- Put it in the Faraday cage and listen to see if the radio station is still audible. If it doesn’t work, don’t get too hyped; FM signals are rather easy to shield against.
- Set the AM mode to “on.” Next, retest by tuning to a strong AM radio station. The low frequency of AM waves is particularly effective at passing through objects.
