My Bose radio sits on the kitchen island; will this antenna work there or does it have to be mounted against a wall/window?

It depends on how faint the radio station is. This is a two foot long white plastic tube with the antenna inside. There is enough connector cord that you can attach this tube just under the edge of your island so it is not in the way, but of course the cord attaches to the back of the Bose, and that cord would be visible on the counter. If you are seeking maximum signal strength, it would probably be necessary to attach it to a wall. I have attached it to a door frame when I need maximum signal. The length of the connector cord is a little over five feet. Unless you are in a remote area, I don't think it will be necessary for you to have this set up against an outside wall, or a window, of your house. It depends on how faint the radio station is.

It is made to elevate approx. 3-4 feet above the radio. Just plugging it in increases reception but then you have 3-4 feet of heavy cord and a 2 foot antenna to deal with. Very good product though.

Since it will be hanging "free" after being connected to the Bose Wave Radio, you will want somewhere to place the antenna to achieve thew greatest radio signal. The antenna is a "T-style" being about 3 ft. long at the end with a 7 ft. tail connecting to the radio.

This should would mounted on a wall assuming you have a strong enough signal. I have had issues where if the direction and orientation of the antenna are not just right, I will not receive a clear signal. I'd test the antenna before mounting it to the wall just to be safe.

I imagine it would work fine mounted on a wall. I have mine mounted on the backside of a cabinet, between the cabinet and the wall. Although, it might be hard to hang it because there is not anything which to attach a hook. I used "sticky tack" to mount it on the back of my cabinet. Also allows me to move the antenna to another location if needed.

Yes, the TV has to be next to the window. However, the antenna was pretty useless because it didn't bring up a single channel.

No, it is designed to be place in the INSIDE of an outside wall. It works by microwave motion sensing, which works through a wall.

It has a mounting bracket that works best on a piece of pvc plastic/galvanized pipe or something similar. u want to mount it facing the host router and adjust angles for best performance either outdoors or in a window facing the window with the router in optical/visual sight of the antenna, i've found it works well in both applications if distance is within reason. On an exterior wall is good too as long as you can see the host and make appropriate adjustments (left right up down), but it has no wall mount bracket per say, you will need to be a bit creative to manage that. good luck

I have never gone out of my way to put this unit in a window. It has always been on a shelf 7 feet off the floor on the first floor, and approx. 8 feet from an exterior wall with a window.Unlike the Sirius XM antenna that I used to have that had to sit on the window sill in a specific orientation.

Not sure. I am in an apartment building and did have to put the receiver near a window to get stronger signals. Mounting in attic may be best bet. Sorry couldn't help more.

The most obvious place to mount is on top of dash where you can see the unit easily. Most radios are to small for this unit to be installed.

can you put this in the wall of an existing radio in the house or do you need something else?

The antenna works best when mounted on a window as designed. It hangs on clear suction cups which would mount on any very smooth"non porous" surface.

It says "Glass Mount" so it does mount to the window with an adhesive. The antenna works okay but your better off with a magnet mount and running co-ox in over the signal having to travel through glass.

The illustration may be misleading. This is a "T-shaped" piece of antennae wire that hooks into the device and spreads out against the wall for reception. Offhand, it doesn't sound as though your radio has any way for an antennae to connect.

I believe that it is meant to be installed on a pole. I suppose you could purchase a smallsectionof pvc pipe lowes of home depot, or for that matter if you are not worried about appearances just rest it on the wall. As an outdoor antenna it is quite good

I have just used the antenna that came with my radio and it has worked fine. I make sure that the antenna is straight and fastened at a height that is higher than the radio. And be sure that the antenna is pushed in as far as it can.

If you have the same connection for an antenna that Bose has, I don't see why it wouldn't work...I have a Bose Wave radio so it did improve my reception..I think that the placement of your radio has a lot to do with it.

There is a little play. But I have it mounted up high on a window and I can't tell if there is a set screw. As with all window antennas "you get what you get". But I get better performance than just sticking an antenna by the window. Maybe you could use an antenna tuner between your antenna and your CB to tune it.
