What are the ways to improve reception of radio signals as I'm getting bussy sound now & then.
What kind of antenna is the best?

Hey, I share the same problem.

Let's hope there would be some knowledgeable car forum readers here who are willing to share their expertise.

The radio set itself and the antenna play a part. Personally had always used the Bosch Autofun antenna as it is quite affordable $40-$55 at local auto accessories shop c/w installation.

The Bosch Autofun antennas are sleek, unintrusive and fuss-free. This antenna is placed on the inner surfaces of the vehicle windscreen. As a result, it is not exposed to the elements such as wind, rain, and dust, unlike antennas located outside the vehicle. The Autofun antenna is maintenance and dust free. Autofun antennas also come with a booster to improve reception.

As I have said if the anetnna doesn't improve your reception u might have to look at your headset as certain brands of head units have better reception like brands from Pioneer

Thanks for the information!

This one is good! I am using it. There are two thin wires as antenna.
I accidentally broke one wire accidentally (when pasting screen shades) and the reception is still very clear.
