My AM/FM radio is full of electrical noise. When installed, the 2 ft. long antenna wire was simply put into a wire bundle which I blame for some of it. I get very poor reception. I also have a great deal of noise coming from the AC powered battery charging system. My question is; Has anyone installed a auto antenna that works? How and where should it be mounted? Can I install a noise surpressor in the DC power line? Will that help? Thanks, Wayne

am/fm antenna

You can buy an in line noise suppressor for the DC power supply line from an auto audio store. For your antenna - If you have a marine band whip antenna mounted atop your mast, get a "Shakespear" (mfr) splitter which will enable you to get dual purpose from your existing marine band whip antenna. It is an interconnect that "T" s off - one side to the marine band radio, the other to your AM/FM. Mine works great. They are available at most marine stores - online and the brick/mortor stores.
