Fm antenna boosters??


Recommended Posts

Anyone ever try any, know of anything real that works?

Not some cheap piece of garbage in a small tube with a capacitor that you feed 12volts into which in return makes your radio antenna hot.

Just wanting to pick up some better reception in my car with a stock radio.

So far the only option looks like the replacement antennas that you stick to the glass.

But do those even work?

I haven't seen anything like that since the 70s when you could also buy an FM converter. If you really wanted to, you could use a TV antenna booster. The FM band is around channel 1 on the TV. Those things cost around $30 I think. I have one on my TV with a rotary antenna and it makes a big difference.

The antennas that stick to the glass work decently but no better than what you have now, they use them in a lot of oem applications.

I don't know of any boosters that aren't the cheap ones like you're talking about that make the antenna hot which is a horrible idea.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
