No, radio antennas only pick up electromagnetic waves. Ultrasound is mechanical pressure waves, you need a microphone to pick them up.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Car radio antennas are typically vertical because they are designed to receive radio waves that are vertically polarized. Vertical antennas are more efficient at picking up vertically polarized signals, which are the most common type of radio wave used for broadcasting. Additionally, vertical antennas are less susceptible to interference from nearby objects compared to horizontal antennas. Overall, a vertical orientation maximizes the antenna's ability to receive radio signals effectively.
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.
Any regular piece of wire will do.
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.
Your radio is either broken and you need a new one, or you need a new antenna.
i think our head set acted as antenna..
To replace the radio antenna on a 1998 Saturn sedan, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off. Carefully remove the plastic cover or trim around the antenna if applicable, and unscrew the antenna from its base, typically located on the roof. Disconnect the antenna cable from the radio, then connect the new antenna and secure it in place. Finally, replace any trim or covers and test the radio to ensure proper reception.
Comparable or compatible? Any CB antenna with a PL-259 connector is compatible.
To replace the antenna of a 2001 Solara convertible, first, locate the antenna base on the vehicle's exterior. Remove any covering or trim if necessary, then unscrew the antenna from the base using a wrench or pliers. Disconnect the antenna cable from the radio, then attach the new antenna by reversing the process: connect the cable, screw the new antenna into the base, and replace any trim. Finally, test the radio to ensure proper reception.
To replace the radio antenna on a 2005 Malibu Maxx, first, unscrew the old antenna by turning it counterclockwise from the base. If necessary, remove any interior trim or cover panels to access the antenna base more easily. Once the old antenna is removed, attach the new antenna by screwing it clockwise onto the base until secure. Finally, test the radio to ensure the new antenna is functioning properly.

No, it is not possible to pick up radio signals from the past using any technology available today.
