Thanks Ron >> piece of advice about reception! if you're antenna is not tune to a proper frequency range.....let's say more sensitive than standard radio antenna config---- you'll end up pickin up frequencies from power lines, your alternator and specially at traffic lights.....you'll notice this while passing under these traffic lights and power lines ( you'll hear noise)....I tried this when I was in college (taking industrial electronics)i had my car antenna replaced by a super sensitive microwave antenna since this antenna has high frequency bandwith it covers from HF to microwaveF-- well inside that range we do have frquencies broadcast by radio stations such as the FM and AM....TV stations, cell phones and a like...... because of this antenna's sensitive characteristics..sometimes you'll hear channel 7, noise from cell phones....sometimes chinese and german broadcast.... this antenna works fine...on whatever frequency you tuned in..but it's not clear! it picks up everything along its way.....this also includes your wireless 900 mhz home telephone... it does these things only when you drive in the city not in suburbs! So if you want a clear reception..stick to a standard antenna config and buy a decent receiver ( i have a blaupunkt radio receiver with CD) with 1 percent tolerance frequency block reception.......this'll be good and sharp reception for you..... Well the blaupunkt i have is an indonesian made...i'm still looking for German made! By the way about The Antenna I used?......it is from iCom CB radio just like those motorola high powered tranceivers ( 12 watts i think, this is enough to ionize your brain cells).....these could reach you 65+ mile radius.....Isn't this cool! Sometimes stock antenna picks up frequencies generated by the Alternator......u could fix this problem by installing a filter capacitor ( sorry i forgot the value) after the rectifier output of the alternator......new alternators nowadays have a built-in filter circuit installed!
