I don't think you can, there is nowhere to attach it. I don't think you would need a different antenna the stock one works great, pulls in stations from all over the country

No on the external ant. Good radio though. I love that it will charge up and work for a while without any batteries.Just dont use it outside on a hot day in full sun. On mine the frequency guide melted.

Yes. you can use it, minus the antenna, however I strongly recommend you use the attached antenna, for better frequency and performance.

Do you have the connections for an external antenna? If you do, this type of antenna should help.

I've tried external antennas on other products with limited success. I don't think it is necessary on this Sony product. Note the Amazon reviews of external antennas and you'll see not many are thrilled with the results. You may need to adjust the location of the radio a bit, but I've found the stations come in better than when I used a Cambridge Soundworks radio with a plug-in external antenna that "supposedly" boosted the input.

It only works with an antenna system. That is all I know about it. I returned it.

None. The previous (30-pin) model did have external connections for both AM and FM antennas. This model has a wire hanging our of the back.

Yes, you can. However, you have to buy the one that states that it will work with an antenna. Some of their models work only with cable.

Hello,Yes, you can; and I did. However, this is a rather dated piece of equipment now, and the wiring and power were pretty messy. There are other options out there that are more elegant. If you got it for cheap then certainly go with it. You will need a power supply and antenna to connect to it. It gets quite hot too, so isolate it for safety. I used a clamping stand and bundled the wires in the back. As for the antenna, you can make on from a loop of wire, but it is best to go with a manufactured antenna.

Yes. On the back, on the left-hand side, you can hook-up an external antenna. In fact, one comes included. I wanted one that would give me better reception, so I bought one at Radio Shack for about $13.

Hi Leanne, Thanks for your question. In response, Yes you can. You'll just need to point the internal antenna towards where the unit will be placed. If you have any other questions, just let us know. Have a blessed day, Mark

No there is no external antenna, however the reception on the device is very good and certainly lives up to the 33 ft bluetooth claims.

Only tried to use the short antenna you see in the picture and the external antenna provided with the radio. It would not pick up anything with either of the antennas provided with the radio. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the answer. I do not have external antenna on my router. I was looking for an antenna for the camera itself. I did move the router around a tad better reception. Again thank you.

you can use a mini genie with this reciever. i use one with it. i don't know what kind of antenna i have.

It depends. RF signals are blocked by metal and to the extent the outside antenna for your booster is "shaded" by the cargo box or roof rack, your reception could suffer. If it's possible to place the external antenna on top of the cargo box, that would be your best bet.

Yes. It comes with an external wire to plug in, which could be replaced with another antenna as long as the plug fits.

No external antenna option. The internal antenna is a thin wire stretched inside the handle.
