Car Forum / Acura Cars / November 2005Stubby Honda Antenna: Do they work well?
Hi there Quick question for those of you who actually have a short, stubby antenna (as those seen on the MDX and the Civic SI (or SiR in Canada). Do they work well? No static or anything in FM reception? Thanks! > Hi there > > Quick question for those of you who actually have a short, stubby antenna > (as those seen on the MDX and the Civic SI (or SiR in Canada). Do they > work well? No static or anything in FM reception? Thanks! They work pretty well, they are amplified. The antenna is for a Sat/Nav system and really has nothing to do with the AM/FM stereo system. The Radio antenna is in the back window. > Hi there > > Quick question for those of you who actually have a short, stubby antenna > (as those seen on the MDX and the Civic SI (or SiR in Canada).

All late model Si (SiR) has this little antenna... FD > The antenna is for a Sat/Nav system and really has nothing to > do with the [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> work well?

No, but a weak stereo signal will have audio "snow" or hiss. > The advantage of FM over AM is that FM does not have static.... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >>Canada). Do they work well?

Do they work well? No static or anything in FM >>> reception? Thanks! IOW, static. >> No, but a weak stereo signal will have audio "snow" or hiss. > IOW, static. To be excruciatingly technical, "static" usually means interference on an AM signal. The FM has hiss because the receiver generates more noise than the atmospheric noise level. A quality preamplifier will help hiss, but only proper antenna grounding and suppression of noise sources will help static. Mike
