I posted this in the Antenna forum but got no replies, so I thought I'd try posting it over here in Homebrew and see if anyone can help me.

I have one of those white under-cabinet Sony kitchen radio / cd players. The radio uses a digital tuner. They have notoriously poor radio reception, and the internet is full of posts by people ranting about how Sony could sell such a poor radio.

I thought I'd ask you experts if there's anything that can be done to improve the reception. I understand the power cord is used as the antenna. I've tried stringing-up an extension cord to the power cord, with no improved reception. Could I open it up and attach an external antenna? If so, how would I do this? Any ideas, or experience with this particular problem?

Regards,
