Ok, i get some pretty shotty FM reception around town, and the range on my car is rediculas. (i get even a little outta town and its impossible to get a clear station). Anyone know of any ways to boost the recieving power of my antenna? or is t here something else that needs up grading. let me know, thanks.

bump...

 

Unless you haven't done it already, I'd start by making sure the mast is tight and well grounded with the fender (assuming you have a fender mounted antenna). Also check to see if your antenna cable is securely fastened into the back of your radio unit and is getting a clean connection.

 

try a radio in your house or a portable radio where you take your car and match reception... if your that far in the woods you're bound to have issues but if it is a problem with the ground or your vehicles antenna then you'll know and there are several things you can do to boost the signal.

 

your antenna probably isnt grounding. prob time for a replacement.

 

what if you have a clear station but your antenna just doesnt move ?
