antenna question

[vwrocco87@hotmail.com (Brad Sayer)]

You can also dig the amp out of the fuba and run it without an amp.  Doesn't 
hurt reception much (and if the amp was bad, it will actually help!).  You 
have to remove the antenaa and carefully dig out the foam that is filled 
with.  Cut out the amp, and resolder the wires directly.  worked very well 
for me.
