No radio antenna cable in bunk room of 3171

Has anyone had problems with radio reception with the radio below the TV in the bunk room of a 3171 or 3170? I found out what was wrong yesterday, no antenna plugged into the radio. Took off inspection panel below the radio looking for the cable that goes to the antenna outside. Can't find it. It's possible they forgot to run one. Any ideas?

All my wires were cut by the factory. Not sure why they do that. Is the antenna wire separate from the harness bundle?

What I have is a bundle of speaker wires and power together, then a coaxial cable for the TV, but I can't find what is usually a black cable looking wire that plugs into the back of the radio. The socket the antenna plugs into is empty. Might have to buy a smaller antenna setup, just for this radio if we can't find the original cable for the antenna.
