AM/FM Radio Antenna

[MBeaubien]

My 3400RL only has a floppy little antenna for AM/FM radio reception behind the TV/Entertainment Center. It gets very little reception. Suggestions or what anyone else uses would be appreciated !

My 2007 3650RK has an R-1000 DVD/AM/FM Receiver uses the outside batwing TV antenna with the amplifier turned ON to get a signal to the FM. AM not good unless you are close.

Don I have had my 06 since the summer of 05 and sad to admit I don't see how to turn on the am. I never had a problem with the fm. And I thought I was one of the smartest people in the world!!! well another dream shattered. LOL

New 3400RL No FM even with the Antenna up, and the amp on. The only thing that happens is the static gets louder. Any suggestions?

The first time it happened to me in another rig I found the antenna wire was not connected to the amp. Huh? The previous owner had disconnected it for some reason.

If it's not that, do you have some way using your vehicle or another radio to confirm what frequency works where you are? Maybe you aren't getting reception and it's a matter of tuning in the right station.

Also make sure FM is set up and the speakers are correct. If you tune through all stations and the same static is heard, then it sounds like an antenna is not working or connected.

Sorry, these are the obvious checks you've probably already done, but you don't mention them and sometimes it's this simple. Please let us know what you eventually find.
