Is there place to hook up an outside antenna ?. It won't work very well in my house without one.

The unit has a telescopic antenna as an attachment. I don't think you can attach a separate one of your own, though.

I would think you can purchase all the connectors required at your local hardware store. Even stores like Home Depot carry a wide selection of connectors and various antenna's. It's a basic coaxial connection that the telescoping antenna's using.

I'd like to help you out but I must admit I don't know much but I'll tell you what I do know. On the back there is a chrome pull up antenna that read RFIN/75 then there are holes for a plug-in which include a green one says AUX, a red one says REC OUT and there is what appears to be one for headphones. Hope this helps but I'm sure it doesn't. If you can make this work I would try....the sound is nice.... I'm sure there is some "technology" behind the "other" sound systems but I think.....in the end.....it all comes down to a wood cabinet.....which the Sangean has....if you think about it....sound rattling off plastic or wood.....which do you think would be better? It does make a difference. I'd like to help you out but I must admit I don't know much but I'll tell you what I do know.

@txbob: yes, you can hook up a 75-ohm outside antenna to the WR-3 as long as the antenna has a cable-type connector. Picture here--http://herculodge.typepad.com/herculodge/2010/03/russ-stantons-review-of-the-sangean-wr-3-table-top-radio.html

If you need to attach an external antenna buy the Sangean WR-2. You can attach both an external FM as well as AM antenna to that unit.

You have to have an internal/inside antenna. But I recommend getting the newer version of this unit.

You will more than likely need a antenna, in my experience. You can set it up as basic cable with OTA.

Yes you can. Just remove the coax that goes to your TV's from the cable feed outside your house, mount the antenna in your desired location and run a coax cable from the antenna and connect (use a male/male connector) it to the cable that feeds your TV's. It's as easy as that and if your like me you will get a better picture than you got from your cable provider

I live in a city where broadcast is less than 20 miles. You may need an outdoor antenna...

hey, i'm in the same prob here, looking for something to boost my weak signal for my regular tv. I don't use cable, just rabbit ears. Any sugestion which antenna is best or should i go look for booster?

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

Hi Judy. This website maybe able to help: http://www.antennaweb.org/ Although it is really hard to tell what stations you can pick up. This antenna does have an amplifier so it may help getting distant signals. I would give it a try, if it doesn't work Amazon is good about returns. If you have a BestBuy close to you they may have some suggestions, although their price is usually high.

Yes. I have mine attached to a leaf antenna which is in the upstairs master bedroom. I have the signal direct into the channel master and then split to the master bedroom tv and the lower level tv. With the channel master, I gained only 1-2 additional channels. However, the signal for all the channels I got prior are solid. No more spotty reception. I will add that I am in an apartment community. Therefore, an outdoor antenna was not an option.

You might pick up the stronger stations but chances are you need an antenna outside the house on a pole. Look at Denny's antennas dennysantennaservice( dot )com for some help. There should be an antenna selector map for your area.

You need an outside antenna or a good window for the regular antenna that comes with the unit. It must have a southern view. I needed to do that at 2 locations in on my property. As long as you have the antennas set up with a good southern view of the sky, you should be able to get a good signal.

Not this particular product. You'll have to buy the antenna separate, or buy the Street Atlas that includes the antenna. They run around $50.

There is an antenna on the radio. So im knot sure how you would hook up a different one

Buy yourself an indoor leaf antenna. All the channels you mentioned and more are free if you are in range of the broadcast arrays.

Grab one of these and enjoy....The TERK XM6 outdoor antenna. You can also get extra cable if you need it. Awesome radio inside the home or in the car!

All I can say is that I have mine installed in a closet under a stairway next to the chimney. I have the antenna vertical rather than horizontal, facing the direction of the primary source of TV signals. If you can receive some signals with a regular antenna, this will improve your reception. If not, find a place where a regular antenna works and install it there.

Ray: Just go to Home Depot and purchase a 15' length of 1 1/4 " diameter aluminum pole. Any pole will do however. This antenna works best in the attic. Just mount the pole on the crossbeam somewhere and then aim it in the appropriate direction. In my case I bought a $10.00 pre-amp to give the signal a boost but I probably would not need it. It sounds like it will be outside. That's ok. Just a utility pole of some kind will work. I assume you will anchor it with a cement foundation, which is why mounting it inside(in the attic)works better. It is a Great Antenna and delivers HD pictures. You save money too. You won't need Cable or Satellite Dish anymore. Ray: Just go to Home Depot and purchase a 15' length of 1 1/4 " diameter aluminum pole. Any pole will do however. This antenna works best in the attic.
