RE: Fuba Antenna wiring

["Gerry Reichelt" <greichelt@mmcable.com>]

  The piggyback wire is the power source for the amplified antenna. The amp
typically craps out and may not be functional. The only cure is to gain
access to the antenna base by peeling back the headliner and either
soldering in a wire to bypass the amp or replacing the antenna. The fine
wire is most likely the center conductor.

Subject: Fuba Antenna wiring


I'm hooking up a new head unit and found that the PO
had cut the connector off and just electric taped the
bare wire to the radio antenna input, not plugged,
taped! I'm surprised I was able to get any radio
stations. Now that I'm re-wiring things I need to know
what's up with these Fuba antenna wires? I have what I
thought to be a coax with an extra wire strapped to
the side, the coax has a very tiny wire in the middle
were I thought I'd find a thick core. What am I
supposed to do? Is that tiny wire the actual core? The
damn thing is smaller then a human hair! And what
about that extra piggyback wire?

Any info would be great.

Thanks...
