I bought a magnetic antenna with about 12' of cable. The instructions on the
antenna say move to channel 1 and that you might move the antenna up/down
1/8" to achieve something near 1, but nothing.

Is the radio crap? I have bid on another magnetic antenna on ebay to see if
something is wrong with the RS one.

Hello Jim:

What type antenna installation do you have? The more you describe it the
more we can help.
