Subject: [928] Replacement Antenna or Antenna Amp causing poor radio
performance


Just as a reminder -

As Jim Bailey and others have said, the 928 roof-top antenna is powered- 
that is, it has a built-in RF amplifier. If you install a non-amplified 
antenna, your FM performance will be poor, and your AM performance almost 
non-existent.

The antenna amp is indirectly the cause of poor radio performance on many 
928s. The power feed wire for the antenna amp is a small black wire that 
runs down the antenna lead-in wire. It is very, very common to find that 
the stereo installer hooked it to ground, rather than to a switched power 
source.
