FM radio amplifier?

Trying to boost the fm signal going to my Furrion head unit. Has a typical car radio antenna input, and I have both 12v and 110v power available nearby.

Suggestions?

  • Good luck, the Furion that came with my rig is pretty weak.

    Good question.

    The Batwing is directional, if your stations are in different directions, could be a PITA

  • Bring a T line off the antenna cable feeding the television. Rooftop Batwing is a far better antenna. Even though not specifically tuned for broadcast FM.
  • Sorry, should have been clearer. Already an antenna hooked up to it, mounted on side of rig. Just looking to boost some favorite stations at places we frequent.
  • So there's a hookup on the radio with nothing on it ? :h

    Should have the standard antenna on the roof. If so, there's not much to be approved on. The tuner in the radio itself could be the issue.
