What I must do with the blue antenna cable? My radio works fine as I can see, but If I connect the blue antenna cable to the ground, will get a better signal? Or it can damage my unit?

the blue wire for if u have power antenna or not if ur antena goes up and down tape it off and leave it

Unless you have a power antenna you need extended when radio is on, don't hook it up at all. That is all it is used for.

I'm pretty sure that's to activate your power antenna -- if you have one, you need to connect it (wire should be on your factory harness). If you don't have a power antenna, DO NOT connect it to ground -- tape off the end instead.

The antenna wire is solely for use on motorized antennas. (I.e when you start your car and the antenna goes up and it goes down when turned off) if you don't have a motorized antenna do nothing with that wire. It won't strengthen your signal.

No you can not hook the blue wire up to ground because it is a power source meaning 12 volt output so you will burn that wire out on the radio. The only way to get a better signal is to use an after market antenna booster

I had zero issues with mine, definitely remove the radio again and check your antenna connection

How would you connect this antenna, is there a place on the radio for a second antenna (e.g. 75 ohm or two screws?) 75 ohm would require a converter. This is an inexpensive antenna, and not very good. I don't believe it will make the reception better, as you already have an antenna. If your radio has a place to attach a second antenna, look for a better antenna.

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

I am sorry, I cannot answer that for the cable. The actual software for the radio was free from chirp. But I would think the cable could work, you just may need to find the driver online. I recommend you get the correct cable with driver for your radio. Sorry if I could not help you.

You haven't said what radio you own and if it has an input for a medium wave antenna, if it doesn't you simply place the antenna close to the radio and you use the tunning knob on the antenna for best reception. You should also rotate the antenna slowly. In case the radio has a mini plug input for that antenna then you have to get a mini to mini cable and connect it that way.

AM/FM reception on my stock antenna (Ram 1500) was fine on all channels. Switched to the stubby and the only channel I had reception on was a local LI station and even that had a significant amount of static. Left the radio tuned to that station, switched back the the regular antenna and the signal was crystal clear.

Sorry, I tossed mine a while back because the antenna they painted on was of poor design. Guess the people who designed it did not check wave lengths or SWR. They may have corrected that since I bought mine. Complain to the seller, they may just give you another one.

If you are close to an airport you shouldn't have any problem. Are you up in the air or on the ground? I am assuming the battery is fully charged! Make there is nothing wrong with the antenna.

I cannot answer you on this question, when I bought my boat, it came with the radio/antennaand broke my antenna, I bought a new antenna and have to route the cable and the whole works. No I cannot help on this issue for I just want the same antenna on my boat with same model. Good luck, Charlie

I mounted mine in the attic of a 2 story house and I don't have this issue. I know it does not work when I swap the amplifier with the mohu leaf one. Try mount higher or point the antenna to the TV station.

I didn't have any kind of problems. I suggest you check the installation again, step by step. If you still has the problem then get longer screws or return the antenna for exchange.

I would say so. Mine came packaged in the box with plastic and ties too. Return it or exchange it. My radio works great. Just last night I was able to connect with someone 400 miles away using a repeater frequency. I was amazed and shocked at the same time. Of course the signal didn't last very long, but it worked. I was using the stock antenna too. I just ordered the 771 antenna yesterday.

First response I think of is whether there is adequate signal and if the lights light up quicker if you move the antenna to a different direction? Next thing I think of is a loose connection from the side mounted switch to the antenna power line at the antenna itself? It is good to test the connection before sealing it all up, but I really don't want to go there! Good luck!

On my second sk3005 antenna and it's just failed. We've replaced one dish, the LDU and cable. I'm suspicious that the antenna can be damaged by road vibration or water infiltration. Hope you're having better luck getting help from Winegard than I am.

The antenna on to is the only connection , use an adapter to connect to your coax. This should achieve what your looking to do.

I have a similar situation but don't know if it will work for you. The DB8e is the most powerful antenna I found so if it doesn't work, I don't know what would. My stations are all within 10 miles of my house. Locate the antenna where it isn't blocked by trees close to the antenna.
