Never done it myself. Depends on the amount of noise tossed out by the car. dxAce And the only way to know is to actually hook the darned thing up and try it as was suggested in an earlier post. You can get a lot of advice here, but advice won't allow you to know what works in your situation. If what you have doesn't work Radio Shack will take it back. I am not trying to be a jerk, but in the time it's taking you to ask this question here and wait for responses you could have already installed the antenna, coupled it to the radio & driven around a bit to test it out. I presume you also purchased a suitable adapter to connect it to your radio so a quick install should only take about 5 or 10 minutes. Hope you resolve your dilemma, Howard |
