Weak fm reception

[wewoy_romero]

My wife and i listen to the radio 90% of the time when we are in the car. The problem is mahina makasagap ng signal. Just a few stations lang, luckily kasama yung favorite station namin. Pero outside the metro walang masagap.

So i replaced the stock headunit and still ganun pa rin.

Is there a way to make the reception stronger? Yun ba yung mga fm antenna na binebenta ok? How about tv antenna, will it also increase fm signal aside from getting analog tv signal?

so since napalitan ang hu i assume ok ang connection ng cable sa hu.

check mo yung cable na nakakabit sa antenna. baka naman putol, grounded or nahugot dun sa antenna. pag nahugot sa antenna side yan mahina talaga ang reception kasi shielded cable di gaano makakasagap ng signal.

o yung antenna what type ba? kung yung telescopic na may motor baka naputol yung connection sa loob. pag antenna ang problema palitan mo na lang ng rubber duckie imbes na telescopic. also consider relocating the antenna. baka pwede ilagay sa roof para mas mataas.

don't forget to plug in the antenna booster circuit! mahina talaga pag disabled yung booster

My vehicle is a gen1 crv. Hindi motorized yung antenna. Manual siya na hinahatak. Hmmm might have a look kung naputol nga sa loob.

Although i'm not so sure if i can do that kasi iba yung screws sa antenna. Parang hex na star. Siguro my alternative is to use a different antenna.

Thanks for the help. You gave me an idea.

Check your HU if it has a DX setting. Turning it on allows it to pickup distant or weak stations.

You can also get an active antenna and stick it on the windshield or on either of the third-row windows.

Yung katulad sa link ni oj88 ang iniisip ko if putol na yung connection sa antenna ko. Malakas talaga kutob ko yun ang culprit. Are those types of antenna good?
