Yes. In fact, Bose offers its own "add-on" antennas for about $10 each that plug into the back of their radios. These are simple dipoles -- T-shaped wire, with the arms about 2 feet long and a longer center wire with a connector on the end. Similar antennas are available from other vendors too. Be aware that depending on when you bought the Wave radio, it may have either a standard F connector or a 1/8 inch minijack on the back for antenna connections -- make sure you get the right one. And yes, you can plug a more sophisticated indoor or outdoor antenna into the same jack. With any antenna, its effectiveness depends on where you locate it. An outdoor antenna has to be pointed in the general direction of the radio station(s) you're trying to receive for best performance. Indoor antennas are highly affected by location and position. You'll have to move them around to find the best location. With a little experimentation you should get a much stronger, cleaner signal than the built-in antenna provides.

Can you change the bass settings on a Bose wave radio?
The only way we have found to lower the base is to put about 5 inches of rolled up sweat sock into the tube at the back of the radio. This reduces the size of the chamber which creates the base and the radio sounds much better. Roll the sock lengthwise... then slide it into the tube from the back on the radio.
How are AM and FM waves different?
In FM, which is frequency modulaton, the information is "put onto" the radio waves by varying the frequency of the wave. In AM, which is amplitude modulation, the information is "put onto" the radio waves by varying the amplitude of the wave.
How do you remove power antenna from 1999 pathfinder?
if it is like a '95.....remove the left front wheel.....remove the plastic fender well.....it is attached to a bracket right there above the well....I replaced my power antenna with a short rubber whip antenna.......
How do AM FM radio antennas work?
In order to understand antennas it is helpful to understand electricity and it's effect on metals, so for a comprehensive understanding you should first educate yourself on that subject. However, if you are just curious and would like to have a basic knowledge then consider the following analogy. When you throw a beach ball into a calm swimming pool, you will see waves go out in all directions from the beach ball. The waves will proceed across the pool until they encounter the interference of the edges of the pool. The height of the waves depends both on the size of the beach ball you throw and how much power you put into that throw. Antennas work in the same way. When electricity is "thrown" into the metal of an antenna, the metal reacts to the electricity at an atomic level in the form of a wave. This wave, just like the beach ball wave in the swimming pool, radiates outward from the point where the electricity enters the antenna. Now, because antennas are working with radio waves and not water waves, the waves in the metal of the antenna actually produce waves in the air touching the antenna. The waves also continue outward through the air until they encounter interference which is why you will have difficulty receiving a radio signal deep inside a building. The structure of the building is stopping the radio waves in the air from getting to you, just like the edge of the pool prevents the water waves from getting to you as you sit in your pool side lounger.
Is an outside antenna required when a satellite radio is used in the house?
Not if you are in a fairly large metropolitan area where they have XM repeaters all over town. If that doesn't work well, put your antenna on a window sill. Most indoor XM antennae have a 20' cord for this purpose.
What is a high gain antenna, and how do I use it?
A high-gain antenna is an antenna which allows for precise targeting of radio signals due to it's use of a narrow radio wave beam. To use a high-gain antenna you should put attach it to a high, clear surface to allow it maximum range to receive and send radio signals. A good place would be the roof of your house.

Can an aftermarket stereo radio replace a Bose radio in a 1997 Nissan Maxima?
Yes, an aftermarket stereo radio can replace a Bose radio in a 1997 Nissan Maxima. Remove the old radio from the dash and put in the new one. A new mounting frame might be required to make the new radio fit properly.
How do you put the radio antenna down on a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer?
it doesn't go down.
Why do gustave Eiffel put to his tower Eiffel?
The tower was built to be a radio antenna tower.

How do you replace a 1996 infiniti g20 antenna mast?
Buy the replacement antenna from Infiniti if you can afford their inflated price, and follow the directions, it's not that hard. Essentially you undo the ring nut where the antenna goes into the car, turn the radio on so the antenna rises, and it will shove it out of the shaft, along with the ribbed nylon strip that shoves the antenna up and down. To put in the new one, simply thread the nylon strip in the same way the old one came out and have someone turn off the radio. Feed the antenna back in, and put the nut back on. Good Luck!
Can you put your Bose outdoor speakers in your garden?
Yes you can put your bose outdoor speakers in your garden. You can put these anywhere in your yard.
When you put the rear defrost on you loose raido reseption?
Your rear defroster heat grid is also your radio antenna. check for grid problems.
How does radio transmitter works?
Summary: A radio transmitter works by converting electricity into radio-frequency energy, which is then converted to electromagnetic waves. Block by block... The most important components of a radio transmitter are the Oscillator and the Antenna. The oscillator makes the radio-frequency energy; the antenna converts it to electromagnetic waves for the receiving station to use. I say these are the most important components because you can build a whole radio transmitter with nothing but an oscillator and an antenna. There aren't many applications for such a transmitter--it can be a beacon, or if you turn it on and off fast enough you can send Morse code with it--but it's enough to put RF in the air. The next important part is the Modulator. This is the thing that lets a radio station play music instead of just sending out radio waves--it causes the radio signal to change in a way a receiver can use. It can either change the intensity of the wave--amplitude modulation--or the frequency--frequency modulation. They also put Amplifiers on radio stations, because you need a lot of power to transmit music or speech, and the oscillators made today don't put out very much of it. If you're listening to your radio and the announcer says he's on the "50,000 Watt KLMN" the amplifier is what gives him all that power.
How do you make instruments in doodle god?
I think radio wave plus metal. Because we put the sound in the metal.
How do you repair a radio antennae for a 1999 Acura Integra that won't go down?
It's real easy, turn radio on, determine if power antenna is working, you'll hear a noise. If it isn't working, you'll need the whole kit. If you hear a noise, you probably just need the antenna "mast". Turn radio on, remove old antenna. Put new one in as far as possible, without too much force, you'll feel resistance. Then turn radio off, the antenna will come in. You might have to play with it a few times. If your friend is around, ask him/her to help, makes it easier and takes only a few minutes.
