Am/FM aerial
Hi forum,

What aerials are you fitting to your landys?
Seeking ideas in an external aerial which is also ok for off road bumps.

Can I use a UHF cb type whip for the radio, I was considering for future use and to use on the from wing as a bit of a height clearance guide ( roll cage and roof tent)

Any guides welcome

I've had one of these on mine for 12 months now. its DAB / FM but went for it as its small and does what it is supposed to do.

If you want to use the same aerial for CB and Radio you will need a splitter - something like this:

For radio only - this is good: Blaupunkt Autoflex aerial - It is amplified so will need battery connection

Pretty pricey, worth it?

Have to confess I haven't had an external aerial for many years now. Initially because I had to replace the external aerial 4 times in a month because some silly sod had a habit of breaking them off at night when parked up.

Have had one of these amplified internal aerials fitted in one of the alpine windows since then and it has worked brilliantly;

Works well. However £7 ebay aerial works just as well. Will try and find the link but on this forum somewhere

Edit - Link found:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250559708597?_t...EBIDX%3AIT

Price increase since 2014 but still under a tenner

Np - just noticed you are in Singapore.

Hope you are not ordering from UK ebay else the aerial would have travelled all the way from the far east to the UK and then back again to the far east... Laughing
