Re: FM Radio Reception
i use a standard motorola antenna male plug with 16 guage trigger wire soldered to only the center pin,and either attach it to a windshield screw or gunnel molding screw/rivet with a ring terminal. we did that at grew where i worked n it works great for FM...not so much for AM. In my `73 glastron the windshiel is nut n bolted on, so i "oval`d" the ring terminal and forced it on the threads...works great but it is a 6 year old sony deck. i have found pioneer decks have had the best tuners a while back...and ummm YES not ALL tuners are equal. but now adays, most aftermarket decks are about features n not their tuners. my 4 year old clarion with a crappy roof mount euro amplified antenna ( stock n found to be crappy at best...i install car audio for a living) tunes wayyyyy better than the newer alpine deck in the company van with a fender mount mast antenna (found to be the best in my experience) older stuff has better tuners than the newer stuff
