I purchased the antenna that was shown in the Amazon add along with the FT-2900R. It was the Magnetic mobile Antenna ham radio 2 meter/70m 144-148 & 440-470 MHz made by Workman. Comes with 12' cable and pl-259 connector, works great, needed no adjustment. Very happy with the antenna, strong magnet holds well. Would buy another.

Check Www.frys.com look for wireless router/access point external antenna. Check pepwave specs for connector spec.

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. Read my above review for more information. Go online and research reviews of FM antennas to find one better than this...the NPR FM antenna advice is best, search on that.Good luck to you. Happy listening.

At Radio Shack, for about $12-$13, I bought a wire antenna,and an adaptor to connect it to the back of the radio. You have to "fool" with it to get it in the right location, but it tremendously improves reception.

Check out the connector on this antenna and then check out the external antenna connection on your cell phone.If they don't match, you can get an adapter from Amazon.

I did not have very good reception. I ended up buying a Winegard HD7698 long range antenna.

This unit is very small and I am using in the an area close to our Broadcasting towers..(12 miles) so with the distance that you are mentioning I would purchase a larger antenna for the distance.

There is none this is a cheep radio that can pick up local stations only. I would consider a grundig or sangean if you want good reception

Yes, get the Wilson hi-gain antenna, its what I had to do to make it functional. Went from 1 bar to full bars in an urban dead zone and added several miles to reception in rural areas. Must use blue tooth to keep the handset near the emitter.

A directional external antenna mounted outdoors away from trees and obstructions would help if you are trying to receive Denver stations. I would avoid purchasing an external amplifier for the antenna, as it would likely only increase noise. You probably want your radio placed near a window as well. Knowing approximately how powerful the individual stations you are trying to pick up would be helpful, as it would give you an idea of how much work you have ahead of you.

Where I live I use the vacant channel 88.7FM. I measured...from transmitter to pocket radio I got good reception from8 to 12 feet. Beyond that I got static. CCrane has a list of vacant FM channels for a person's area. Hope this helps.

U probably need a large 34 db ppt antenna...that is a long distance to work with with m2

Do not know, but if you have a plug port for external / additional antenna I would try it. Where we use this antenna there is not much reception of anything but don't need much to pull in many radio stations.

this antenna is cut for FM/TV band. for local AM you might try a short (4-5 ft) plain metal wire ant.

Absolutely fine. This is a very good, highly directional antenna. I tried a RCA from Walmart and took it back. This solved my problems.
