Mike: When DMC Joe was here in Cleveland, he installed a Radio Shack antenna on my car. The reception is still not great, but it does work well, was not expensive and I gather an easy install. If you like the look and want somewhat better reception, go for the Radio Shack unit!

As you might expect, I grew accostomed to poor radio reception. This week I had a new windshield installed, this one without the built-in antenna. The installer simply left the antenna lead loose in the corner of my dashboard. I had already purchased an aftermarket "stick on" windshield antenna from Radio Shak, but I probably will not bother to use it . . . I turned on my antennaless radio this morning and I can barely tell the difference. No antenna works almost as well as the windshield antenna did! So much for preserving originality. It looks as though I have a power antenna mast somewhere in my future. I might still try the Radio Shack unit, just for the sake of comparison. It would not take much to be better than that original antenna was. - Mike Substelny VIN 01280, 8 years Before posting messages or replies, see the posting policy rules at: www.dmcnews.com/Admin/rules.html To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderator@xxxx Your use of Yahoo!
