What is the best gauge copper wire to use for a radio antenna?

use a stronger wire for longer antennas...the gauge may not be as important as the strength if you string it outside.

Where can a sirius antenna be purchased?
A Sirius radio antenna can be purchased at many retailers. Future Shop, Best Buy, Costco, Walmart, and Visions Electronics all carry various Sirius radio antennas.
What antenna do I need for my CB radio?
The main thing to remember for CB radio antennas is that taller antennas will work better. If this is for a vehicle, select a tall antenna where at least 50 percent of it will be above the roof line. You will have the best range this way.
Who makes the best FM radio?
C Crane Radio company has built a AM radio which had out performed all AM band radios on the market.The CC Radio Plus has a specially tuned audio amplifier to the human voice.Also the radio coupled with there twin coil ferrite antenna offers the best possiable reception of any AM radio.This antenna will pull in weak station and night time station that fade out and will double day time reception.
Will a 27mhz cb antenna work on your uhf cb radio?
No, this is not a wise move to make. The antenna metals are not the same. you have to know that antenna metals are different within all Mhz. 2nd- The connectors are different. CB has a wider coax connector and Uhf us smaller. Radio Range/ distance will be less if you use a short wave antenna known as CB. Best to get a High wave antenna- UHF. 27 Mhz is cb radio and the waves are low and long (about 11 meters). 400-460 Mhz is UHF and the waves are high and short (about 67 centimeters). You would need a UHF radio antenna to get the best SWR. Installing a UHF antenna on a car it would require a proper uhf antenna and coax and drilling and using only a UHF Coax cable with the connector. Or buy the Uhf magnet antenna. They are hard to find in your local city and they are pricy because you cant buy them used or at cb shops. you will have to buy one online or go to a Junk yard and find a Police car that has one on top of car. You can Mod Coax cables only if its a UHF cable and antenna. Grounding a car UHF antenna in house can be difficult. Don't run ground to AC ground! you can damage radio. Run Ground wire to the dirt outside and dig a hole and fix with a little water and keep hot coax separated from ground on uhf. Best is to run this to Gutter on roof. Do not MOD CB coaxes with UHF antenna or mix with magnet antenna or CB, VHF, Marine radios. You will waste your time. 800 Mhz police antenna will be your closest match if you decide to do this. It goes by the wave and wave length. Keep Digging
Can an antenna be put on a Bose Wave Radio?
Yes. In fact, Bose offers its own "add-on" antennas for about $10 each that plug into the back of their radios. These are simple dipoles -- T-shaped wire, with the arms about 2 feet long and a longer center wire with a connector on the end. Similar antennas are available from other vendors too. Be aware that depending on when you bought the Wave radio, it may have either a standard F connector or a 1/8 inch minijack on the back for antenna connections -- make sure you get the right one. And yes, you can plug a more sophisticated indoor or outdoor antenna into the same jack. With any antenna, its effectiveness depends on where you locate it. An outdoor antenna has to be pointed in the general direction of the radio station(s) you're trying to receive for best performance. Indoor antennas are highly affected by location and position. You'll have to move them around to find the best location. With a little experimentation you should get a much stronger, cleaner signal than the built-in antenna provides.
How many gauge is required of copper wire in multiple generator science project?
34 gauge copper wire will work but to use the 35 gauge copper wire is the best choice

Which wires work best in a FM radio?
This question has no one answer the question needs to be rephrased to ask what wire, antenna wire, the antenna its self or other.

What metal is best to make an antenna?
Metal Conductivity Silver 106 Copper (pure) 100 Copper (hard Drawn) 89.5 Aluminum 45 Steel 3-15
Are there two parts to the radio antenna wire on a 99 Mercury Cougar?
No there is only one wire for the radio antenna unless you have an extension on it or after market part . But then again I'm not sure if i know what your trying to ask . But that's the best i can do for you with the info I'm getting !
What is a 3G antenna normally used for?
A 3G antenna is used to boost a router's ability to access 3G wireless Internet. Such antennas can be purchased at Best Buy, Radio Shack, or online at Amazon.

What would be the best way to test for alternator whine noise?
This is noise coming from a source within the receiver - either the radio or cassette section (noise from a CD transport is very rare). If you determine that the noise originates with your radio antenna, an antenna filter (like American International's AS100) plugs in between the antenna and your receiver to stop (or minimize) noise from entering your system.
Where can I buy a gps receiver antenna?
You can purchase a GPS receiver antenna from a list of electronic venders including: Wal-mart, Sears, Target, and Radio Shack. Remember to always check pricing to ensure you get the best deal.
