Welcome to the AK, kaiser123. Check out the Tuner Forum to find oodles of info on this topic. Otherwise a simple twin-lead dipole may be all you need if you're in a strong signal area. These often come with new receivers. Google dipole antenna to find inexpensive choices or make one yourself.
If you're lucky an ~30" wire stuck into one of the terminals may work well enough to get you going. Good luck.

The Terk AF9925 is what I use for FM on my GX9ES. For AM, I'm using a Sharp loop antenna that came with my now long-gone SA-X35 receiver, velcroed to the back of a Select-A-Tenna, with the antenna wires extended enough to let me place the antenna a few feet away.
If you're not going to use an elaborate FM antenna system, coonmanx has the best suggestion. Rabbit ears allow better adjustment for the different FM frequencies and sometimes can eliminate multipath interference. Although they're less frequently found these days, thrift/second-hand shops sometimes have them.
Lots of them available over on Ebay...

I cringe when I see the word "Monster" on anything these days. I remember reading about how they got sue happy some time ago. Also I used to own a 240 Turbo. Were you over at Turbo Bricks? I used to participate over there quite a bit when I owned that car. Those were the days. Whenever it snowed I would go behind the local Sears for endless donuts in second gear. Yeah I miss that car but not the maintenance on it. LOL.Monster Just Hook It Up Indoor FM/HDTV/UHF/VHF Antenna 1 pk Mfr# 140062-00 - Ace Hardware

Go vintage!
Your basic T antenna works pretty well.
Take some speaker wire and connect one end to the 300ohm terminals. Split 28.5" of the other end. Boom. Antenna.
