    Anyone know of any type of signal booster available for better FM reception? Maybe just a big antenna behind the bunk? Anyone had any good results, increasing reception distances?

    Just a heads up , I had one of those shark fin looking antennas on a 379. See a lot of them on new GM trucks and SUV'S. Maybe mi e was just a fluke but it was a joke. They aren't cheap either. I kept tearing the metal radio antenna off of my farm tractor and mounted a 2 foot Firestick with a spring on the bottom of it and it works great. Probably not supposed to but it does. Ignorance is bliss...
