FM Antenna Booster?

**antimatter** · 06-06-2004, 08:51 PM

Anyone know of any good FM antenna boosters. I am not looking to replace my whole antenna. I just want to add an inline booster so that i get better reception with the Radio Xtreme.

I have seen a few different types sold on ebay and car stores but was wondering if someone could recommend a quality product

Thanks

well .. i would say .. if you dont get good signal in the first place (and you want better signal)... all you are gonna be boosting is a bad signal ... witch wont help matters .... more noise etc

Yea... I gues i wont know until i try it out. The reason I ask is becasue for my radio i use Radio Xtreme USB and the reception isn't up to par even hooked into the car antenna (although it could be the method that i used to connect the antenna to the USB Module and i will look into that)

But Batmanthewebnhad posted that he was satified with the reception he got with the Radio Xtreme after getting a 10db inline Antenna booster.

I tried to get a product link but havn't heard back hence the reason for this thread.

Any additional comments are welcome

It must be people trying to recover their shipping charges....

Antimatter,

Thread with part numbers is at http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/show...772#post215772 was posted last week. I am waiting on a different antenna. A guy at a local audio store has ordered one in for me to try that he thinks may work. It seems as though the radio extreme needs a better signal than my stock antenna can deliver. While the amplifier does improve it, the sound is only as good as the reception the antenna can bring in. You can also check out my antennas page http://68.77.191.217/antennas.htm showing all the parts I have tried so far.
