I have not changed the antenna on the unit. Why would you? Attempting to get broader coverage? Suggest experimenting with location of the Hawking Extender and the base router. Perhaps you need a more powerful router. You can add an additional Hawking Extender to increase the coverage. I have tried several extenders and this Hawking unit is the best I found for the price.

I have not, but I can tell you it's not doing the job as it's supposed to. It still drops calls in my house. Advice: if you haven't bought it yet, don't .

I'm not sure about changing the channel but setup was exactly like the instructions said. I had to connect my computer wired instead of wireless though. Also, I have to reset this device almost everytime I use it. You get what you pay for.

I don't remember getting one, but I don't think you need it. You just disconnect the old antenna and plug in the new. Took me about 15 minutes, and that included climbing up on the rig and getting down.

I haven't had any problems with mine at all. Make sure your antenna is up. Be sure both are set to the same channel and make sure you are within range. Best wishes. I hope it works for you because I absolutely love mine. It none of the above suggestions work maybe it's defective. Return it and request another one. It's worth it but sorry about your troubles.

Yes it can be done if you are handy and have good soldering equipment. You can contact Shakespeare for details. However, for the low cost of a new antenna, when you consider it might be needed to save your life, I would just buy a new one.

It can be re-programmed! The easiest way is at the Racing Radios trailer at the race track. They charge $10 bucks and it takes about 5 minutes. You can buy a longer antenna.

Hi, Yes, the antenna is replaceable, just unscrews. I feel the factory 6" antenna has acceptable gain, but I guess this is personal preference.Bob

I haven't checked the difference in reception since I only listen to Sirius -- I just got the antenna so it wouldn't scrape the top of my carport and also looks much more streamlined.

The one I got didn't match up at all the threads were incompatible I hade to remove the brass fitting from my old antenna And use it. Also I don't feel that it is as good reception wise. Looks good though .

Hi,I have used the simple rabbit ear antenna or you can order one of the not so pricey HD antenna`s, either one works really well.

I don't think you can, there is nowhere to attach it. I don't think you would need a different antenna the stock one works great, pulls in stations from all over the country

We did. My high performance gets about 30 channels in my area. My son's (in the same house) extreme antenna gets 2-3 more channels and is more solid on some of the channels that are a little shaky on mine. Although the extreme is an improvement, I personally wouldn't pay double for it (although I probably would have been willing to pay $10 more for it), but that's up to you.

The best I can say is go to "Your Account" and at the bottom find returns and replacements. You might want to check the fuse either in-line or in the plug adapter. These can be fickle and blow out, also make sure power outlet has power and the antenna is mounted properly with good cable.
