+Team Webguy Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Hi all, our new 4wd's windshield has a rather steep angle, and no matter how / where I mount the legend, it always seems to loose satellite reception, especially if they are positioned above and slightly behind you. I have been looking into re-radiating antennas. Have you used one, any good? Ugly dadgum things. I guess I can put up with it, as long as it fixes the problem. Where do you have the receiving antenna mounted? permenantly or magnetic temporary? Cheers Edited August 30, 2005 by Team Webguy Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Just run the cable out a window and use the magnetic mount on the roof. They work very well. You can also get a hat (or modify one) that's like a regular ball cap but has a pocket in it to hold the antenna so you can use it when walking around as well if you like. I haven't done that yet but I can tell you that in my truck the external antenna makes a huge difference. Just be careful when you unplug the thing as the connectors fit pretty snugly.

Ummm, I didn't think re-radiating antennas plugged into the unit. Don't they work with units that don't have an external antenna outlet? Quote Link to comment
