I read the manual and it says if in a big city just put the antenna near a window and it should work great

We have the antenna snaked throught the room that the boombox usually stays - the wire goes up one of the walls and we have hung the actual antenna out the window.

Couldn't use it, because the antenna was the one for the car and not the radio, so needless to say we couldn't even try it out

I don't even have to unravel antenna

I hate their cheap antenna's they give you and notice they sell more expensive ones as well

I hung the antennae outside the building and got a weak signal , it still played , spasmodically , frustrating

The antenna unit, instead of being built-in, has to be plugged into the top of the box, but the mounting prongs are about 1/16th of an inch high, and consequently the antenna is almost constantly flinging itself away to precious freedom and falling to the floor

Detachable antenna works great4
