There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I decided to try removing and cleaning the antenna. Along the way I traced the wire and verified no critters had been snacking on it and that it was making a good connection throughout - well, I lost the chase as it passed through the firewall, but it was good that far, and I took the rest on faith. I removed, cleaned, lightly sanded the rod, brushed the connector points with a stainless brush, added a little conductive sealant on top of the connector, threadlocked the threads and yanked it tight. All great for practice, but it didn't help - AT ALL. No change. At this point, I was pretty sure I had a dud radio - but I thought I'd take the opportunity to tinker.
I noticed (according to my JK's compass) that when running N/S routes reception was better than on E/W routes - so I figured it should have something to do with the antenna position or cable path, causing a blind spot during E/W-W/E travel. It wasn't a BIG difference, but it was a needling concern over 10 years of ownership. I decided that a good course could be to replace the antenna AND cable with a new setup - to see if that helped at all. I ordered this one: Antenna and I also got a rubber ducky to replace the whip outside. I first installed the whip, knowing that it wouldn't help (but at the same time knowing I've never trusted a stainless whip as an antenna anyway). It didn't help. Nor did installing the new antenna and cable!!!
Well, not until I monkeyed with the installation some (more than some, but not a lot). with the dash still open, I tried a couple a placements for the antenna - along the rollcage horizontal top supports. down the passenger and the driver side was less than stellar performance, and the cable isn't long enough to reach the center of my unlimited rig. i ended up with the best performance when I put the antenna over the dash inside the plastic cowling along the top of the windshield. I directed the cable through the cowling over the passenger sun visor - and down the inner cowling of the windshield vertical support. From there I entered the dash and used zip ties to route it over the glove compartment and keep it tucked away - then into the center dash compartment from behind the dash. By manipulating it an playing with the routing, I found that crossing the glove compartment straight across, then turning the cable at a 90 degree angle to the front of the compartment, and around the radio installation support frame, behind the radio compartment and into the back of the radio. If you're not careful about that cable path it may cause some issues. I found that it's also important to get the cable connector on the antenna cable clear of the other wires and harnesses in the compartment as well - move the connector up behind the radio in the front portion of the dash for the best performance.
Now the Radio works great - I get all the local stations in full stereo, many distant stations, and even catch some dx when the weather is right. I still notice some deleterious effects when the weather is heavy in my area, but we are mountainous - so it's not unexpected. Overall, I would gauge this as at least a 500% improvement in reception. That's estimated, not based on empirical analysis. I STRONGLY recommend this configuration and the products I have mentioned. I hope you have as much good luck as I did - and enjoy the ride!! (I enjoy it a little more with some great tunes to blare when it's time to go topless!!)
I reconnected the factory antenna and all the channels came back. The difference between this and the factory antenna was night and day. I would rate this at 0.
This comparison was done in my car garage so the RF conditions did not change between the two sets of testing.
I would NOT recommend buying this antenna. I am going to return it.
It was a bit tricky getting to the back of my stereo but once there, the antenna plugged in easily, the cord was long enough to position the antenna at the top of my windscreen.
Reception is so-so... but that could be because of the age of the radio.
For $8, this antenna is worth a shot, in my opinion.
I just bought this item a week ago and from the get-go, there are some issues with the item and packaging.
1. Packaging; there is none, you get the antenna curled up, cable, and receiving element.
2. Construction; there is no reinforcement on stress joints or cable ends.
3. element design; a very thin aluminium strip sandwiched between two plastic layers.
4. adhesion; antenna base is 3m tape, but the antenna element itself has lacking surface adhesion.
I believe both good reviews and bad reviews for this item, if the item is handle with care, and not bound too tight on shipment, then the element does have a decent chance of pickling up RF well.
however, due to the poor join for the cable and the element is very easy to get damage and make poor to no contact.
the antenna element is supposed to be mounted in the window or dash, however, I advise against this, the thermal expansion of the metal film and the plastic is not the same and with direct sunlight and, several heat cycles will surely crack.
the cable itself is very thin and seems prone to electrical interference, so I recommend routing away from as much wiring as possible, and down to the center console, this element seems best suited for near field application but your mileage may vary.
if I would have known prior, I would have not bought this item and would have opted for an upgrade antenna wire and mount to enhance my fm reception.
