As the others said, you won't get much by tuning. With a stock antenna, range is mostly about channel selection and antenna placement.

That said, antennae are cheap if you make one yourself. A directional can be as low as $2 in parts plus cable, omni about the same with more work. You might get enough gain with just an aluminum foil collector for the existing antenna.

Google "antenna homemade" for a more than you wanted to know.
