[Kenwood] F6A receiving outside of ham bands

[John Geiger]

I wonder if anyone else thinks that the TH-F6A seems
to have pretty lame receive outside of the ham bands. 
It does OK on AM broadcast receive with its Ferrite
bar antenna, but other than that, the VX5R I had
before it receives TV, FM BC and the eternal word
network station on 5.825mhz much better, and that was
with the stock VX5R antenna, without the extension!  I
am using a Pryme RD9SMA 8 inch antenna on the F6A, so
don't know if that is causing problems.  I sure like
having 222 mhz and dual receive on the F6A, just wish
it would pick up the entertainment stuff better. 
Anyone found a good antenna to use to pick up
shortwave, TV, and FM better?
