I have a car radio/cd on the boat. Until recently i only used the cd player. I have just got a bendy black car aerial for it but I am not getting any reception at all. Granted I am in the Lake district where the reception isnt great but I get decent reception in the car and on another small radio. Others in the club get good reception with this sort of set up. I cannot confirm the radio is working but it was fine when I lasted used it in a car.
Do i need to have the radio earthed or something. Does the aerial need to attached to something metallic. Any suggestion gratefully accepted.
