My wife says FM radio signal in her car is poor, wants a "signal booster". Do you broes know anything about this?

And yes, she has XM already, but enjoys the NPR and local traffic, too.

I've only seen signal boosters for radios in your house, not for a car radio.

Stick a tennis ball on the antenna.

Has it always been this way, or did something change? Before investing in a booster (they exist and aren't that expensive), make sure your antenna itself doesn't suck or else you're just pissing money at the wrong problem. If you have an old portable stereo or new phone or whatever that can get FM signals, turn it on where your wife gets "bad signal" and see what it sounds like.

Have you tried Zip Ties?

[Fool]

Replace it with a cb, HAM radio or a ticker tape machine. Maybe even a telegraph switch.
