The reception on by Becker radio is less acceptable. Has there been problems with connections in the antenna or cable that can be suspect? Or is this just a typical Becker thing. The car is a 1982 300D and it appears to have a Cell phone antenna connection near the antenna too.

That's Becker, I had a 754 in my SDL I'd lose the strongest stations in town.

I'm sure with a rebuild it'd be better, but until the vehicle is worth big bucks... just shelf that stock radio

Poor reception is basically an understatement. I was able to listen to it for about 5 minutes on a 200 mile trip today. They would not get away with selling that crap in today's world.

There is a new radio out at Wal Mart that has a USB port for a thumb drive. Are there any decent models out with that option?
