I believe I read somewhere that the XG350/L antenna was embedded in the windsheild. Some aftermarket head units can boost the signal quality better than the stock radio, or there are "antenna boosters" that install on the antenna cable and are 12 VDC powered. I haven't tried a separate booster, so I don't know how well, or if they work. I've had the best luck in other vehicles installing Pioneer head units with the "Super Tuner" tuners. [Revision:06/28/08] After looking through some documentation, the antenna is embedded in the rear window (not the front windshield) and there is a built-in/factory antenna booster mounted to the underside of the rear shelf (where the speakers mount.) I've seen at least one other person who had to replace the booster due to poor reception.
People who use satellite dishes for television reception are more apt to lose reception during inclement weather than someone who has a satellite radio. The difference is the dish and antenna. The dish is pointed in just one direction, while the antenna is omnidirectional. Because of this, those with satellite radios can still enjoy reception during inclement weather.
Any of the motorola two way radios give great reception and are relatively durable.
Satellite radios tend to get excellent reception in the United States and Canada. Unlike local radio stations, you can go great distances, and still have the same reception for the whole drive.
Better reception there.
All satellite radios will have equal reception as they meet a common wireless specification.
Sony, Emerson, Timex and RCA all have excellent radio reception.
On older radios there was a "trim" adjustment. Don't know if newer ones still have this. At the rear of the radio next to where the antenna plugs in is a little screw Set the radio to a weaker station around 1400 and adjust this screw until radio reception is best at this location and that should allow other stations to come in. Good luck
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.
Reception is rubbish
There are several kinds of Uniden marine radios, but all of them seem to get pretty good reception. They are generally reviewed very highly by their customers.
Signal interference, blocked signal, antenna problems or electrical faults.
