A:AnswerI live in the mountains and tried this unit, all it did for me is boost static. My tuner is a 25 plus year old Pioneer with 250 watt output, one of the first Pioneers with Dolby Digital.
A:AnswerI live on the south side of Norman and my Bose radio still wont pick up the OKC stations on the N side of OKC. So, maybe 25 miles? It did improve reception on the closer stations.
A:AnswerThe 75 ohm connection doesn’t fit with the Bose sound wave connection. The connection is too big. The flange is too big. Looking for an adapter now.
A:AnswerThis requires a coaxial cable port and is powered which means you need a 12-volt power inverter to AC (they are available and plug into your cigarette lighter or similar 12-volt DC power port). Some new cars are equipped with these already built in- I know the newer Ford F-150 is equipped this way. As to- if it would work- I don't know. The antenna to radio connection might be a problem.
A:AnswerThis Insignia-AM/FM amplified Indoor plate Antenna will work on your mini component system. Follow the instructions for connecting antennas in the owners manual on page 6.
A:AnswerIf your SONY product has provisions, as in screw terminals, pinch connectors or any suitable type of connection for an external antenna, this would work.
A:AnswerTry to connect one lead at a a time of the AM antenna to your receiver to see which lead will give you the best reception. When you connect one antenna lead to your receiver, please cover the bare conductor left to avoid short circuiting against any bare metal on the receiver.
A:AnswerIt might depend on the terrain in your area. You might also check to see if there are any broadcast towers nearby. Those can also interfere with radio signals.
A:AnswerI live in a metal roofed house. FM is really reduced, but the Insignia took several weak stations and made them clear or at least listenable. External antenna would no doubt to more for me, but the hassle factor and a long cable run to radio ruled that out.
