Second one might work, depending on what is inside that box.

Do not do that, it is a bad idea. Included antenna is only suitable for low power
broadcasting (without external power supply).

Just make sure not to use external power supply in this case.

What antenna are you using currently? The problem might be caused by a lousy antenna.
