MacMagus is absolutely correct!
Signal strength is due more to the type of antenna, internal/external, orientation, and placement.
Type
External is much better.
Orientation
Vertical, is much better than horizontal.
Placement
The higher the better.
You can quadruple signal strength, it won't have the effect the antenna does.
Also, any metal between you and the signal is detrimental.
Sorry about blanking last night, been in HAM radio for almost three decades, should have known better!
