No, radio antennas only pick up electromagnetic waves. Ultrasound is mechanical pressure waves, you need a microphone to pick them up.

Car radio is not getting all FM stations?
1). If it's getting any FM stations, then the radio is OK.2). If it's getting the strong (nearby) stations but not the weak (far away) ones,then check the car's FM antenna, the connection between the antenna and thecable, the condition of the cable from the antenna to the radio, and the connectionbetween the cable and the radio.
You get no sound from radio and scans constantly have swapped radios 2 other Taurus and your radio works in other car you get the same results with the swapped radio?
Your antenna lead-in is broken, and the radio isn't getting any signal. That's why it keeps scanning and can't hear anything. Check the connection from the antenna to the cable, and if that's OK, then you'll have to replace the cable from the antenna to the radio. You did connect the antenna to it when you were checking it in the first car, right ? You can quickly test this hypothesis: With a radio in the first car, where no radio works, connect the power, but don't connect the car's antenna to it. Instead, stick the end of a different piece of wire ( 3 to 6 ft long) into the center hole of the antenna connector on the radio, and see if that makes it possible for the radio to start hearing things.
Change a radio antenna 98 Ford Escort?
The radio antenna is a fine wire imbedded in the windshield. If your radio doesn't pull in any stations, but you get static then probably the cable came out of the back of the radio. If you recently got a new windshied it may have not had the antenna. You should be an antenna at an auto parts store and install it on the front fender.
Can a uhf vhf antenna receive FM radio broadcast?
Any antenna can receive anything, but not very well unless it's the correct length for the frequency you're trying to receive. Yes, this antenna will work well so you will not need a special FM only antenna.
Why are car radio antenna's vertical?
It's called polarization and it relates to the orientation of the transmitting antenna. If the transmitting antenna is vertical, the majority of the transmitted energy is vertically polarized so it stands to reason that to pick up the most signal the receiving antenna should be the same way. In a moving auto though more is now understood about the propagation path the signal takes before it actually gets to the moving radio. The signal isn't line of sight but takes a lot of reflective paths before it actually gets to the antenna. The signals are reflected so many times that polarization is altered and can be any direction by the time it gets to the car receiver. Radio stations get around this anomaly by circularly polarizing the signal at the transmitting antenna. Many car antennas are now embedded in the glass windows instead of wire whips formally mounted to the fenders.
Your VW Passat stereo will not pick up any radio stations?
Your VW Passat stereo will not pick up any radio stations if the antenna has come loose. The retractable antenna may also be stuck in the down position which severely limits its ability to pick up stations.
How do you make a radio antenna?
Any regular piece of wire will do.
Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?
You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.
What is wrong with a radio in a 1991 Silverado if it cannot pick up any station and every station is the same even though it is displayed as different?
Your radio is either broken and you need a new one, or you need a new antenna.
How the FM radio works in mobile phones without any antenna?
i think our head set acted as antenna..
What cb radio magnet base antenna kit is comparable with realistic trc-148 cb radio?
Comparable or compatible? Any CB antenna with a PL-259 connector is compatible.

1991 capri does the radio need to be grounded separetly oR IS IT ALREADY GROUNDED through THE HARNESS OR ANTENNA?
It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded. It is not grounded thru the antenna. Just run a ground wire from the radio chassis to any ground location.It is not going to hurt to ground it with a secondary ground if you suspect it is not grounded.

The radio and antenna on your 98 4runner have no power and already checked the fuses what can you do next?
If the radio and antenna are both malfunctioning on a 1998 4 Runner their may be an issue with the wiring. Check the wire with a spark tester and see if there is any current flowing through it.
