Some wiring questions!

[smithma7 at gmail.com (Mike Smith)]

1) I'm the last person who would know about this, but I would think
that the G is ground, the + power, and the inverted "T" is for the
sender. I could very well be wrong.

2) I believe that there is a signal booster / amplifier built into the
base of the antenna.  This is what the wee wire powers.  Either mine's
shot or I didn't hook it up properly with the aftermarket unit I put
in. FM reception isn't as good and there's virtually NO AM reception
at all.

HTH!
