According to the instruction for this radio, it also has shortwave and other bands as well that you can select from. One way is to buy the wire antenna that rolls-up on a "crank" housing that is portable that can fit in your pocket that clips on to your telescope antenna, or get a more quality one that can be clip-on to the telescope antenna as well big enough to pick-up shortwave or other stations distant away from where you live. You can also check at "RadioShack," www.ccrane.com, for the wire antenna or loop antennas, you may want to check-out these websites... www.instructalbes.com for some ideas on the external antennas or even find books on shortwave antennas here on amazon.com or www.bn.com. Hope this will give you some ideas on the type of antenna you choose to clip on the telescope antenna and to enjoy listening to what ever station you like. L. P. L.

Hello, you certainly need this item:Wilson Electronics Dual Band - 800-1900 MHz Magnet Mount Antenna with SMA Male Connector and 10-Foot RG174 Coax Cable. This antenna also works real good indoors (I use mine indoors, it is stuck on top of my computer tower). Naturally, if you want, you can mount it on top of your car and use it mobile. This item really helps boost your signal all the way around. Regards, John

Which Kaito external antenna have you tried? A reel-type antenna like the Sangean ANT-60 is probably your best bet, much longer or an amplified antenna would just increase images and intermod. Actually, an alligator clip and a ~20' piece of wire would work just as well. If you want to DX the MW band try the Kaito AN-100 or AN-200 (sold under many different labels). There's also a trick to use the antenna jack (not normally enabled when the radio is in MW or LW) to attach an external MW antenna.

I have mine hooked up to cable. I need to move in the included antenna to receive good radio reception.

you have to hook up the antenna to the back of the unit. in some cases you'll need an adapter for the correct fit. your local car audio store will be able to get that adapter.

The best advice I would offer. would be to take it to Best Buy for installation. They did mine and I bought the radio somewhere else. It works great and the unit is one of the best I have ever had.

You will need one that is no longer in production. If you plan on adding sirrus I high recommend you purchase a unit that is Sirius/XM ready the antennas for this unit (if you can find ) are crazy expensive and out dated

As yet have not received the antenna....might not get it till round the end of the month. So, if you find out about a good mobile mount for the four band antenna, I would like to know. I plan to mount on top of a one of my luggage rack arms (GMC Envoy).

You need a car docking kit which they don't tell you need with radio. I searched for almost 3 months, both on line and locally for car docking kit that went with radio. Never found one. I ended up purchasing an Onyx radio which had car docking kit. My brother hooked it up in car and I love it! Believe I returned the radio in picture as it was just brand new junk. Can't use without a docking station. Hope this answers your question.

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.

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. Go online and research reviews of DM antennas to find one better than this. You will need a push-on Balun adapter provided your unit has such an output made to accept it, found here on Amazon, to connect it to your receiver or FM tuner.Good luck to you. Happy listening.

As an owner I will say YES, as well as a place to attach one of those new-fangled antennas. If you really want to go in depth on knowing a lot about this or any other receiver, try and google the receiver model, add the word forum, and then add J.D. Smoothie. You will get a forum that also features an expert (J.D. Smoothie). He answers about every third question, has about 50,000 posts, and really knows his stuff. That is how I learned about receivers and decided.

There is an antenna Jack. I love my radio but have never heard any thing but S W , A M , F M and AIR on it. Regardless of what antenna I may connect.

Get an adapter to attach wires and plug it in. This antenna did not work well for me in a steel sided shop

Dear Michelle,Please don´t waste your time and money with this product. Only good use I have had for it is to use it as a mousepad... You better go around some radio shops asking for antenna for your radio. Aiwa is a good brand, I hope you will make it sound good!
