Radio aerial for 110
Not getting very good reception on my radio, have changed aerial to a rubber shortie and now head unit to a decent one.

RDS isn't great, so I'm wondering what's the best type? Wing, roof, windscreen etc..

Any help / suggestions please.

Roof would be best but that comes with issues unless you have it off-set as there is a strengthening rib bang in the middle. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Just a quick update, windscreen aerial and power amp fitted, I now have RDS with good reception. Thanks for advice.

I bought them both over ebay, under a tenner for the two.

I spliced into the main radio power feeds on the loom and earthed the aerial on the sun visor mount.
It's working much better now.
