Radio reception

[Cane Raiser]

I can not receive many local radio stations is there a separate antenna? I have a sound bar system in this 2017 383FB

Does the sound bar have an antenna connection???

I don't know/haven't looked for connection but there is the small black wire (old school antenna) I found if I pull it in front of sound bar the reception greatly improves.

Yea many people complain their RV's have horrible radio reception. I use satellite radio to correct the problem. I think the best solution to radio reception is to install an external antenna.

Plus LED lighting does not help

I have an external antenna on the roof, how cad I get to it? I have two sound bars with the little black wires that Marconi left.

Lmao, Marconi that's funny.
Do you know what that antenna on roof is used for? Do you have another radio in your unit?

Is it a radio or TV antenna on your roof? The radio will be a short vertical antenna.

I've found the radio itself to be of marginal quality as even with the higher external antenna it cannot receive the same stations that I can in the truck. My "when I get around to it" plan is to upgrade the factory radio with a better quality aftermarket automotive unit.
