There are better antennas than the rubber antenna coming with the
TH-D7. This has been much discussed in the yahoo! group for TH-D7
(look at <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TH-D7>). I use a Diamond
antenna some 40 cm long, for 145 and 433 MHz.

Also, you should consider using an external antenna while you are in a
car.
