Can you attach an antenna for the AM channels? Moving it around for good reception is inconvient.

I don't believe there is a place to attach another antenna for AM channels.

My TV is analog and I pulled signal with no converter box. But the antenna wasn't great for my area, which could have been a geographical issue, but a cheap $10 pair of rabbit ears worked best for me.

The AM antenna is built directly into the unit. You may have to rotate the system for the best AM reception. The FM antenna is located in the rear of the system. I have no problem picking up quite a few FM stations as long as I keep the antenna away from electrical cables.

Sharon, this antenna is designed for FM reception. For AM, you'll want to find a loop antenna - see this link (we don't sell it but we have one at our offices): http://www.amazon.com/Kaito-AN-200-Tunable-Passive-Panasonic/dp/B001PNNXGO Best wishes !

This type of antenna is for FM reception only....look for an antenna specifically for AM reception.

You could try a small antenna outside & it should help but I have a full size antenna which depending on the day gives me any where from 35 to 60 % antenna strength. Depends ob how windy it is that day. Wind is a factor in the reception.

Yes, an antenna is NOT supplied with the receiver. You must buy your own HD antenna. The good thing is there's plenty of good antennas available now, and very affordable. Best luck!

YesANY antenna is far, far better than no antenna at all. And this antenna is a cheapie but it woks well if you experiment with where you place it. Go online and research reviews of DM antennas to find one better than this. You will need a push-on Balun adapter provided your unit has such an output made to accept it, found here on Amazon, to connect it to your receiver or FM tuner.Good luck to you. Happy listening.

Hi Larry, To improve the radio reception, (TV/Weather/FM): Tie the FM wire antenna to the suction cup. Extend and adjust the antenna. Secure the suction cup on the wall where you get the optimum reception.(AM/LW): Rotate the unit horizontally for the optimum reception. A ferrite bar antenna is built in to the unit. -Anthony

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

You can but it also has limited UHF reach. I can pull in my UHF stations with this antenna.it is the VHF which are harder to get and this antenna addressed that problem.

I believe it will help but I think it works best when directly connected to the unit''s am antenna input rather than sitting on top of it. You will have to move the antenna to different locations to get the best reception for your stations.

It's good. Not especially great, but definitely good. It comes with a 4-5 foot FM antenna cable (and similar AM antenna) and what appears to be a standard connection port, so you could possibly attach a 3rd-party antenna.

It would probably work OK if the AM signals you want to receive are pretty strong and you don't have any electrical gadgets nearby that could interfere with AM signals (like some motors, fans, fluorescent lights, or nearby high voltage lines.) If you're not sure, it would probably be wise to go ahead and invest an extra $5 or so for a proper AM antenna. Just search Amazon for "AM Antenna" or something like that.

I don't see a special (external) antenna connection; however, there is an FM wire 'antenna' from the back. Perhaps that could be extended.

If you have a big attic you can but most probably you will have to assemble it in the attic. My antenna seems very directional; that is, it will pick up stations only from the direction it is pointing. So unless you have plenty of room to move the antenna around in the attic to find the stations you want, you may be saying a lot of four letter words.

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.
