I'll just get a puck then, and get a smaller stubby antenna for the roof!
Thanks for the help.
Puck-wise - just one from "Maplins" any good?

Re: Smaller antennas
Was there a conclusion to this? I have RNS-E and need FM to still work and want to replace the screw in mast with the spiral wire running round it. I'd like to replace it with something smaller and a bit less 80s looking. Anyone done this and it still work just as well?

Re: Smaller antennas
Might have to get one of these. I don't mind the original antenna, but it is getting damaged when I put the car cover on it.mavada wrote:Works fine...
Have you actually fitted it? Same screw thread and everything?

Re: Smaller antennas
Received it yesterday. It's a good fit. I wasn't even fussed about the looks, but I admit it does look better now.
Thanks for the heads up, Mav.

Re: Smaller antennas
So the roof antenna has nothing to do with tv reception then?
That's what I thought the swirly bit was around the antenna.

Re: Smaller antennas
It's part of the diversity system so it's used for both FM and TV.
