Radio transplant new and old antenna compatability

Hi Wingers
Greetings from across the Pond! My project Wing is nearing completion. All painted and glossed!... Last job is the new radio install and hidden quad speakers. My new radio is a mechless, deckless system and is very narrow in width. Perfect for our Wings. You can play the radio, mp3's, wma, use the Bluetooth etc. I don't need a CB, too busy riding! The original Honda radio whip has been wrecked by a drunk. I'm unable to get another one. I was advised to buy another compatable antenna, but I don't know what currently would work? I've tried an anti vandel short rubber antenna and it wouldn't tune the stations in? Could the problem be:- A British radio vs a USA antenna?, the station frequencies are different. I'm looking for a short, antenna to use, for listening to the radio. Any whip ones only last a day, people (drunks) or kids enjoy wrecking the Honda antenna, when you park in their neighborhood? Thanks for any advice riders! Angel :-) |

you might try a inline fm booster with the rubber whip,also you might check if the radio has the capabilty to be tweaked to the antenna,probably would have to contact the radio manufacturer for that info or may be hidden in the instructions

Do you know a radio nerd?
Or do you know someone who knows a radio nerd? Is there a non-franchised (Mom and Pop or Radio Nerd) shop who sells and installs radios? They may be able to dial you in.
enjoying the view from the saddle....... due mainly to the people and information found within this site
