I am researching hidden antenna options for the 914 stereo and a number of times in searches I have found reference to a person or people here who have used their rear window defroster as a stereo antenna.
What I haven't been able to find out is who did it, and how well it actually works. Anybody want to fess up? I know some modern cars have antennae built into windows in this way, but I don't know if they are using the same grid or a separate wire. Although I suppose that heating up your stereo antenna with an electrical current might cause some radio interference.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

I worked on a hidden antenna in a semi once.
Sucker was an 8 foot dish mounted inside the trailer and could be pivoted to lock in on any satellite a la James Bond. That hidden enuf for ya? Ken |
