I'm looking for something that will work on my RV stereo to increase AM/FM reception. Will this work?

Yes, just make sure you put it at the top of your windshield. Also make sure you run the power and ground otherwise it won't work.

I installed the jensen powered antenna on my volvo, but the stock antenna works way better. In my experience, Pioneer stereos have good FM reception. I have a booster in line with the antenna, but it doesn't help much.

I have an aftermarket Alpine stereo and in L.A. it boosted all of my am and fm stations i I also learned that some stations come in, in HD!!! Which was a welcomed surprise not sure where you are but it really helped me alot. Good Luck!!

I can say it will do it, but you could hook up an external antenna to the back, which would definitely help. I bought one for my Mom, who lives about 75 miles from New York City, and it worked o.k. for her, but on a powerful station, WCBS. You could also look into getting an antenna booster system. C. Crane sells a "Twin Ferrite AM Antenna system. The way it works is that you mount a Ferrite antenna outdoors, somewhere where you can get a good signal, like up high, not near any obstructions, etc. A coaxial wire brings that signal into the house [you need to make a small hole], and then there is a receiver sections that you can tune to the one station that you want to receive, and the receiver has an antenna that rebroadcasts the signal from that station amplified. I looked into hooking that system up to get some weak AM stations, but haven't gotten around to it yet. The reviews for it are very encouraging. Living in the mountains might make getting your stations difficult, and also it depends on whether you listen day or night. Usually the signals travel longer at night, but the stations also cut back on their power in order not to interfere with each other. I am sorry that I can't give you a definite answer. One thought is, if there is a Ham Radio club in the area, try connecting with them. They usually have a good idea. Last thought is internet radio or Satellite radio like Serius. That is what my kids finally did when they couldn't get the AM and FM stations they wanted, even though it costs them.

I listen to AM talk radio so its not to bad with AM. But when listening to FM music you will loose a lot of stereo quality. I do anyway here in Lou,Ky. We are not on flat ground around here. I put my factory antenna back on. I personally don't recommend it.

No this will not. i use it for GPS and Music streaming of my Iphone to the radio on my Touring motorcycle through the AUX port.There are better devices on the market for that, I use a Parrot System in my truck or look at the Belkin.

don't know the answer to that, however--look to see if there are 4 small holes around the radio knobs. it should work if the holes are visible

Honestly I highly doubt it . I wouldn't completely recommend this radio . It has poor signal for FM/AM radio

Go to PAC audio's website to see if it works. You will need an external source such as XM radio or a CD changer.

It should work, it connects to the radio antenna input and needs 12v power. I installed in my boat that did not have an aux input.

Sorry, like everyone else, I only use it for cb. I don't know if it can be used for am/fm. But it works great for cb. Just make sure you tune it using the tunable tip. I also got my meter on amazon for cheap. It was easy, just look it up online how to tune the antenna.

Yes,it will! I have used it on several dual-band radios and the reception was fantastic!

I doubt it will help. Go to Radio Shack and get there digital Power antenna Booster ( it plugs in to 110 ) I went from 4 Channels to 27.

You would need to check the rating on the adapter itself, or see if it is mentioned in the description. Personally, I would buy a Sangean radio, as all newer Grundig/Eton radios are pure junk.

If your radio already has speakers and fm you should be able to just set the fm tuner to a clear channel and play it they work even better if theres an auxillary port to plug in a cable. but if it has fm and speakets it will work.

I don't know about your type of equipment exactly but I would have little faith in it doing something. When I tried it for my little desktop Sony Dream Machine radio it didn't have any effect at all. I would of expected something but it didn't do a thing. I had my doubts when I bought it but for the price I got it it was worth the risk.

Only used it with the standard roof-mounted antenna. Always turned on power booster. Digital signals might not penetrate to a set of rabbit ears in an RV very well due to their radio frequency. Never tried it with "rabbit ears".

I use my BESTEK adapter to power my radar detector, iPhone, and car phone device. I generally listen to XM radio, but I have experienced NO interference with either XM or FM the few times I have listened to it. I haven't listened to AM in probably 30 years, so I can be of no help there.

No - the reception isn't that good. I wouldn't rely on it for its FM receiver.
