So, I sprang for an Onkyo home theater system for my newly finished basement and it includes an AM/FM receiver. It also includes an FM antenna that is just a piece of insulated wire about 4 feet long and an AM antenna that is an open plastic rectangle about 2" X 4" with a stand so it can sit on a shelf. The radio reception is mediocre at best.
There are two AM stations that I like to listen to and I can receive them on the car radio OK, but not the home receiver. Any suggestions for a better antenna or booster?
I am looking at something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Terk-Indoor-AM-Antenna-ADVANTAGE/dp/B000069EUW/ref=pd_rhf_shvl_1
Looking on the internet, it appears some wire wrapped repeatly around a piece of 4 or 6 inch PVC and placed next to the receiver might be sufficient for the AM antenna, and a wire stretched between to points for the FM.
Any thoughts?
