How can I make my radio antenna work better?

Try various indoor antenna types.

1. Do not use an antenna that is meant for UHF; this will not work well.
2. Try rabbit ears.
3. Try a basic antenna wire.
4. Fully extend any built-in antennas.
5. Many VHF antennas will require an adapter to plug into your radio, unless your radio has a TV antenna input, which some radios do.
