AM Signal Booster?
Yeah, yeah, I know. AM radio. Why? Because I'm a knuckle dragging, stone age dweller, that's why. Anyway, I enjoy talk radio and eveywhere we go, it seems ALL of our aftermarket head units (camper,...

Try one of these Antenna Boosters from CCrane radio.
I use mine all the time when out and about in the boondocks to pull in late night stations.

The antenna was designed to work with everything from portable radios to home stereos with wire antenna terminals. The Twin Coil's wireless ferrite stick works on radios that don't have antenna connectors.
Just ran a test. The CCrane Antenna Booster does not work with the whip antenna sticking up out of the fender of a car. I tried high mid low mounting locations and it didn't matter at all. Obviously the C crane can only inductively tie into the ferrite antenna in a radio.
I think we are speaking at odds here- I am under the impression that the CCrane booster replaces the whip- not boosts it. It really isn't a booster- it's a replacement antenna, and the tuner is meant to work with the antenna element. I don't know how you would even try to hook it up with a standard antenna, as the input is a non standard jack.As that, I don't see why it wouldn't work with any radio- it will work with either an AM antenna input or a built in antenna. Stick the antenna element to the roof with 3M UHB tape, get the needed adapter for antenna in, or use the ferrite sticks in proximity to a built in coil.
