Improve FM reception on JVC Boombox
(1/2) > >>
Hogwild:
Hi all:

Let's assume that I have next to no electronics knowledge other than a few basics of how to use a DMM and how to solder.

I found an old JVC boombox at the curb. It works perfectly, but the FM telescopic antenna is broken. I haven't been able to source one via the web at a reasonable price. What's the best way to go about improving FM reception with that broken antenna?

Thanks.

attach a bit of wire around 75cm to were the original aerial was connected

Straightening out a coat hanger is the official fix for that.
Hogwild:
And should I solder it to remaining stub on the antenna?
