Why do I get better FM reception in my car...

Hi everyone... I recently moved to an urban area and am currently using a Yamaha T-2 tuner with the plain vanilla wire antenna. I'm wondering why I can get better reception in my car parked curbside than in my apartment? I have tried both Godar and Dynalab antennas and the regular wire antenna worked better than both of these. The problem is that I can't get the station I want in my apartment.

Any insight or recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately a roof-top antenna is not an option...

Thankg again!

The sensitivity of car radios is usually much better than home tuners, but the sound quality etc. is not nearly as good, but that isn't important in car sound systems.
Keep experimenting with location of your indoor antenna for sufficient signal strength and minimum distortion.
Digital broadcasts necessitate a digital receiver and a user fee.
