Radio static

[harvey lee]

Seems I have a abnormal amount of static in my radio. I have a lame antenna for the radio. Its one of those wire type and it works so much better if I hold it between my fingers for sound.

I have it hooked up to a seperate battery.

Will a solid mount antenna fix my problems?

Tom,

IF I were you I would replace it with an amplified antenna, I had the cheep whip antenna on the old boat and got really poor reception on the new boat I have one of the amplified antenna's and it works much better.

I have googled them and they run about 50.00 or so bucks.

Sounds like a fifty well spent.

Thanks for the tip.

Tom, you may not remember seeing my antenna. It's about 18" and folds down for trailering. I've never had a problem with reception on the lake. This one costed me right around 20 bucks.
