Can an external FM antenna be connected to it?

It comes with an indoor wire antenna which can be connected. However, I did not notice any difference in reception between it and the fixed antenna. Hellmut

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

No, but with the attached antenna it has better reception than my other Boston Acoustics HD radio that I use a powered external Radio Shack antenna with. The Boston Acoustics has better sound with two separate speakers but I bought the Insignia HD Radio so I could receive my favorite HD station. I can run powered speakers from the headphone out jack for improved sound, specifically bass.

As you can see the antenna is a telescoping rod. I took it to a town 10 miles north of the station and had trouble pulling in my HD channel. So it's not so hot when it comes to sensitivity. (Selectivity is marvelous, since it's "all or nothing" with HD radio.)

There is a "pigtail antenna" plug in back. However, I've not needed an antenna. Great reception.

I do not know--it bought it for a gift for a lady friend of mine who wanted to use it at work. Unfortunately it does not work in her building--the signal may be blocked I didn't ask about another antenna.---BUT she uses it at HOME--and it plays and sounds really great. She enjoys it.

I have just used the antenna that came with my radio and it has worked fine. I make sure that the antenna is straight and fastened at a height that is higher than the radio. And be sure that the antenna is pushed in as far as it can.

Sorry I could not get an FM HD station in my home so returned the radio for a full refund. others have answered that question -- probably not needed

They include an external wire antenna with the radio that the instructions states plugs into a 3.5 mm socket for improved reception. perhaps some other external antenna can be pluged in here. I am about 40 to 50 miles from the transmitter and the telescoping antenna works fine.

This radio has a digital tuner and ac adapter included. As for external antenna terminal, if you mean if this radio can allow you to hook up a separate external antenna besides the one that is already provided, it does not.

The AM antenna is internal. There is a jack for an external FM antenna. A small external FM antenna may have come with it; I don't recall. If there was, I tossed it because I didn't need it to get local FM stations.

No; no external connector. But I just wrapped some wire around the antenna and it boosted the gain as you'd expect. I'm receiving a faint FM signal across the building where I work so that I can listen to another worker's XM. Works well.

It could be if the you are in a strong signal area and bring extra batteries. It has a port for an external antenna but the adapter is very hard to find.

The radio has upper and lower side band which can be selected separately. Some other radios receives both upper and lower together which is irritating. External antenna is connected via 1/8" mini plug. You will need an adapter to use a RCA plug, available at Radio Shack.

You will have to put on an external antenna. Not designed for reproducing music. More for talking.

I reviewed some info on the Maxell but did not find any info about FM radio hookup. I would think there is an adapter that you could use.

Yes and it comes with a thin wire for the FM antenna. It does not come with an AM antenna.

The AM antenna is internal. The FM antenna is external and it is connected to the headphone jack. The external FM antenna is either the headphone cable (when listening to speaker or headphones) or the included cable that plugs into the headphone jack. If nothing is plugged into the headphone jack the radio has no FM antenna. The AM antenna is a coil of wire wrapped around a ferrite core. It has directional gain and you can sometimes improve reception by rotating the radio when listening to weak AM signals.

With the proper two wire adapter, this antenna should pick up FM reception. Adapter not included with antenna.

Tom, I believe it can be connected to an external antenna. I looked at one at "The GPS Store" and on Amazon, I think, but I communicated with a friend on a ship about 20 miles away this morning and it was like he was standing next to me...although his radio was an Icom with an antenna about 70 feet in the air. I was standing in my kitchen. So, to make a short story long, I think there is an external antenna that will fit on the handheld.

Yes it does. There is a connector for both an AM and FM external antenna. The AM connector is a single wire clip connector and the FM connector is a type F connector.

Yes, if it's an external CD player that you plug into the "aux" input of the radio. For instance, you can plug in an external MP3 player.

As far as I know, the post has nothing to do with the signal emitted by the antenna. As long as you have an antenna wire connection from your the antenna to your FM source, you should have no problem.

Just like with my portable digital TV, I suppose it should work as good o better being a simple FM radio signal is not as cluttered with information. The key is finding the correct adapter to connect. We watch TV at the beach 60 miles from the station, whose to say you cannot increase your FM Ange to 200 miles with this antenna.

Yes to SSB. No it uses a mini stereo plug for SW/MW & LW. No external connection for FM.
