sa casa. P3500 ata ang assembly, kasama na motor.

yikes, for 3500, pagtiyagaan ko na ang mahinang reception ng radio ko

anyone know of a place that sells the rod only?

actually a generic rod will work. sa banawe marami, not sure lang where in Gensan my friend

[luckytruck]

kahit anong antena pala pwede? what kind of shop should i look at? car shop? sound shop?

mangyayari is, kelangan diskartehan yung antenna assembly. you have to get a rod which is more or less the same length as the stock one and take it from there.

I bought my antenna rod at El Dorado. I forgot how much but it was a a bit expensive. I had to get it because I tried putting those Taiwan made ones but it was substantially longer than the stock length of the Pajero's antenna (It was so long that it kept hitting the low horizontal beams in SM Megamalls covered parking area.). It's relatively easy to install the antenna rod by yourself although you'll end up with very greasy hands after installing it.

[pajerokid]

true. the motor assembly is chockfull of grease. but Pajeros have antenna switches where you could adjust the length. have you tried using that?

[luckytruck]

ikabod, pare, is the length the only issue? diba the pajero has a control for raising the antenna half height lang?

in any case, wala namang parking garage pa dito sa gen santos (di pa tapos yung sa KCC Mall) so i only have to worry about it when i go to Davao.

so what kind of shop do i go to? automotive? audio?

thanks,

andy

I wish I had the height control switch for the antenna in my Pajero. Unfortunately, my Pajero is an ex-ADB vehicle so it's pretty basic (although it's a Gen 2 Pajero, I don't even have an intercooler in my engine.) unlike the local units so I don't have the switch for the antenna. That was the reason why my only option was to get the OEM antenna rod.

luckytruck: The height was the only real issue for me because of the lack of the height control switch. The other parts of the antenna such as the rubber grommet and antenna bracket can be installed with a little bit of ingenuity. I guess you should have it done by an audio shop since they're likely to be more familiar with replacement of the antenna rod or the entire antenna unit.

thanks ikabod, magtanong na ako sa mga audio shops dito.

andy, kung makakalas mo yung buong assembly ng antenna, good. kapapalit ko pa lang ng antena ng esi ko at dala ko sya sa mga surplus store. Yung binigay sakin is almost the same(structure) ng esi but nun kabit ko na, maigsi yung thread sa ibabaw. nung soli ko, me nakita sila exactly the same ng esi, so simpleng kabit lang. sa tingin ko yun unang binigay ay pang fendermounted(pajero, trooper & alike) at madami sila. baka pwede yun sa paj mo. btw, Php750 lang kuha ko. Sana makatulong.

salamat sa info pare, sayang lang dito ako sa gen santos nakatira. but at least i know from your experience that surplus or replacement can be used.

thanks pare,

andy
