I've just had the knee panel off and placed my receiver (temporarily, taped not screwed) in the recess at the back of the instruments.

Feeling around there does seem to be a MASSIVE metal beam just in front of that, so I'll have to wait and see what it does to reception. Given the lower location was intermittent I'll give it a good week or two.
