You may want to invest in a "ribbon dipole" antenna,
probably about 3 bucks at your nearest discount store
of choice. Said antenna will perform even better than
a whip, especially if you've got the ability to mount it
outside of the house. Radio Scrap (and others) also
sell outdoor antennas which will work. At any rate,
you've got one of the better FM receivers, and it
should provide excellent service.

It outperforms my Sony 2010 on FM. There's really only 1 FM station I'm
interested in and so far, the SRII picks it up better than the rest of my
portable radios (exception being a regular RS desktop, A/C powered AM/FM radio).
