Need Info On Oem Radio Antenna

Hi guys, I've an afermarket radio cd (pionner), and i like to put a am/fm antenna where the oem is suppose to be. I don't have any antenna for the radio but like to put one.

I found the oem part for 76-86 jeep cj but i like to know if it's direct plus into the radio or i will need to find a after-market antenna or adaptor...

Also is there a better product than oem one i like to have suggestion.


Thank's

 

Allright, i'll order the oem antenna, thank's again for the info guy

 

I would just check your local audio centers . I used one from a VW
ebay has a jeep antenna
AM/FM Radio Antenna Kit Jeep CJ5 CJ7 CJ8 Wrangler Chrome Base & Mast 17214.01

 

I already order a complete kit that look oem on jeep cj


Thank for advice

 

Here is the antenna I just got.

Kept with the early spring and ball type. Has the connector on the cable like the above picture.(Howard's post)

 

Where did you get that antenna? Identical to the one on my Jeep. I'd like to replace.

 

A place called JB Precision where I live (Big Island on the west coast of BC, Canada) had been sitting on a shelf in the back for some time. I walked in and asked if they had any old vintage looking car antennas, and they pulled this one out. I was stoked! The brand is called "Power Flow"
The mast is 31" tall and the cable lead is 54" long.

 

hey guy's just receive the antenna.

just need some info on the hardware.

I got in the bag (see picture) 3 yellow plastic thing...

What am i suppose to do with that?

 

I'd guess they are protection from the exposed screws on the back side of the panel.

 

You're right one more time, just found the instruction on internet, they also provide a template in the instruction for those who doesn't have any before.

It was my second question the right location but with instruction it's pretty easy.

 

I put a peel and stick on the inside of my windshield. It has a power booster on it that hooks up to the back of my radio. That way there is no shaft to get broken off when it the woods. It works just fine and was not a lot of money. Just a suggestion.

 

Just a comment on antenna power boosters - they cannot boost more signal than is already there. The receiver of your radio is very sensitive, but its effectiveness is more connected to the signal-to-noise ratio of the radio signal, not its voltage. When you amplify a radio antenna signal, you increase both the noise and the signal voltage. In fact, the addition of an amplifier adds noise to the signal, so even though you increase the voltage of the signal, you decrease the sensitivity of your radio. The frequency tuning, impedance matching and size/design of the antenna is the main issue, not the signal voltage.

Booster amplifiers have their place, sp. where there is a long cable run to the receiver. In that case, you need the extra voltage to overcome the cable losses. I can't see this applying to a car application. Also, FM propagates very well - my rooftop FM antenna has about 100' of coax leading to my receiver, and an amplifier at the antenna would overload the input stage of my receiver.

Note also that sensitivity of receivers - FM, TV, shortwave, whatever, varies a lot from brand to brand. Superheterodyne receiver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If your booster is passive, ie needs no added power, it is instead a matching transformer and not a "booster" per se. A true booster is an amplifier, which needs its own power supply.

 

I just wanted the oem antenna at oem location

Here the antenna installed, worked fine, no complain

 

The Jeep-supplied antenna was cowl mounted in that era, as I recall. However, lots of jeeps have the antenna mounted on the flat below the cowl, as in JB03's pic above.

 

Do you have a picture somewhere? i'm curious to see what it look like.

 

Uhh... looking.

 

dang, I filled in that cowl mounted hole with a washer and a lot of little welding dots.
