Default how to boost vhf scanner

What model of radio? you can alway buy a nice discone antenna will add some
dustance but if you have a cheap radio nothing will help much.

I got a cheap radio shack airplane scanner. It works great when I sit in

the
airport parking lot but 5 km out it does nothing. I live about 15 km from

a
small airport and 40 from Pearson Internation Airport. Is there a external
antenna I can clip on to this thing to boost its receiving capabilites?
