    I want to change my antennas to the strickers antennas. Will they work for the am/fm radio too?

    Sorry no one answered your question, kind of odd ...

    Yes, it will work, but the problem is that the AM/FM antenna on the right side will be the problem, I would run a new piece of coax and a new mount on the left and leave the right one alone. This will give you better performance.

    Ok thanks for the info. Yes I’m going to replace left side wire to cb and try to get it fixed up next home time. I also need to find a good repair guy to work on my old Galaxy radio.

    What's wrong with the radio?

    I would just get someone to properly align it, and not try to peak and tune it, that's all crap.

    You can’t really tell what channel it’s on the LEDs bounce back-and-forth. I think it’s been bounced around too much. It might be best to either use my cobra 25 or get a new cobra 29 classic

    I would get it fixed but the 25 is good too.

    2025 anthem, not sure if this helps but this is my set up, 18 feet of coax out to the drivers side, hooked to a browning, deleted stock antenna out of that mirror, left the stock antenna on the passenger side and get good good AM/FM reception, I’ve put a browning over there before to match, but went back to this set up with the new truck. Decent performance out of my pretty old 29 with it set up this way. BTW, I like the pinnacle, I was hoping like heck for one but here I am in another anthem, yay for me. IMG_1516.png
