Take a like 8 metal coat hangers, make them all strait, then make them into v's, then get two wooden rectangle boards like 1x1 1/2 feet and cover them with aluminum foil, then drill 2 holes on one side and another two on the other side on both boards, then put the v's there and put washers on top of them and drill them in, then find copper wire and criss cross all of the v's and then connect it to a transformer and connect a coiaxial cable to ur reciever, then drill one whole at the bottom for the mast, then mount it in the direction of the transmitter. This should greatly improve reception!
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.
be careful with acne. if you pick at it, it turns out it actually does make little scars on your face. this makes sense because picked-at acne is little wounds.
You should check your car's radio connection and make sure the antenna isn't broken or bended.
if it is like a '95.....remove the left front wheel.....remove the plastic fender well.....it is attached to a bracket right there above the well....I replaced my power antenna with a short rubber whip antenna.......
The parabolic antenna is really not an antenna at all - but a collector/reflector, which catches and concentrates RF (radio frequency) into a tiny antenna mounted above the dish, pointed into the dish. Since satellites transmit at very high frequencies (microwave), the actual antenna can be shorter than one inch. To strenghen the signal and make aiming the antenna at the satellite easier, the parabolic reflector picks up a wider area of RF.
No, an external antenna can work without electricity. It simply picks up radio frequency signals from the air and sends them to the device it is connected to. The device, such as a TV or radio, uses its own power to process and display the signals.
The external antenna broke off the car.
If the player enables radio it should use either an in built antenna of use the earphones as an antenna. Nothing more to buy or build.
Any regular piece of wire will do.
If you do not see an external antenna, then it is in either the front or rear windshield. Look closely and you will see the tiny wires that make up the antenna.
There are many places to purchase a cell phone antenna from. Here is one site that I found that is currently having a sale: http://www.antennabooster.net/. Alternatively, you can even make your own if you are so inclined! This video explains how it can be done: http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-make-external-antenna-for-your-cellphone-185772/
Of course you can. It is probably a bigger project than you would want though. You may have to remove a fender or at least the plastic fender liner to get to the top of the fender close to the cowl. After drilling a hole in the fender to mount the antenna you will have to make a hole into the passenger compartment to run the wire in to the radio. Lots of opportunities to make a mistake.
it gets its power from radio so its on the radio fuse but if the radio is working its not the fuse my advice is go buy an antenna that's not powered just make sure it has several mounting pads
unlimited most radio supply outfits will provide an antenna mast to 78 inches, but you can get your machine shop to make a longer mast for a few $$$ extra
Works when you turn off engine or radio.
Remove the nut, spacer and bushing that holds down the antenna on the outside car body. Then turn the radio ON. As the antenna extends out, carefully pull out the antenna mast. There will be a plastic portion with teeth at the end. Remember the direction of teeth. When you install the new antenna, the teeth will go in that direction. Insert the new antenna into the antenna housing. Make sure the antenna teeth engages the antenna motor by moving the antenna up & down. Turn the radio OFF and the antenna motor will pull the antenna back in. Reinstall the nut, spacer, bushing and you're done.
