i reveive this and it says "Place the antenna firmly on a smooth and flat surface", but how?

unless you have a different product or one without the base, it means to simply set it on a shelf or table so it does not move easily.

Install it high on a wall facing a direction where you get the best reception. Read instructions and visit their website for more information.

As you view the receiver's component side toward you and the connector facing down, to your far lower left there is a coil and to the lower left of the coil is a small hole where the antenna is installed(soldered). I hope this helped. George Feder

Raise the antenna. Maybe purchase an external antenna and plug it into the antenna slot.

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.)

Attached antenna that you raise and lower. Ours does not "swivel." We have to change the position of the radio to improve reception.

No, this base of the antenna has a flat spot with a small screw through the flat spot for mounting, above the flat spot is a pivot to fold the antenna down.

I used a towel and pliers to tighten it and it's not loose after a few weeks. I haven't had any reception issue that others have had either, but I only tested a few stations to make sure it worked and then I've been listening to satellite radio.

I mounted mine on a corner shelf just above the TV,(48" Sony on a diagonal in the corner of the room) the round ears are antennas, they don't necessarily need to be straight up, I rotated them around to get the best signal. It is explained in the instructions for the unit. I raised the shelf to be even with the top of the TV. Originally had it sitting on a bass speaker behind the TV. I got decent signal but raising it up put the unit away from all the other electronics and greatly improved things. your may need to move it around and try different positions but the item did do what i expected. Hope this helps.

I agree with Roger be aware that the screw for the swivel is also used to put tension on the swivel. Between the base and ant. it has notches to lock antenna in desired position.

You'd have to mount this on an angle bracket first or else the antenna would be parallel to the ground.

With the screen facing up, rotate till you see the antenna ports! Choose the one on the left, it snaps in easy no forcing :) The effect will show up in a little bit while the wifi is connecting.I had mine on top of a moter home and a violent storm snapped the upper half off, ergo the magnet is very strong.

there is a notch at the top (end with stubby antenna). use a small flat screwdriver or fingernail while pushing the cover towards the top from the back of the unit

The illustration may be misleading. This is a "T-shaped" piece of antennae wire that hooks into the device and spreads out against the wall for reception. Offhand, it doesn't sound as though your radio has any way for an antennae to connect.

You dont connect it physically. You just place it beside your radio. You must tune the dial on the antenna to the frq you are listening to. Move it from the side of your radio to the back to find the sweet spot. Then just leave it there. The sweet spot can be different at different frequencies.

First you may not have a good ground. If you do then I would move the antenna mast up or down about 1/4 inch and then re-try. If worse then go the other way......
