Muddy Waters Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I'll looking for a magnetic aerial for a Ruark r1 radio with a F type fitting. I want to put the aerial on the roof, cable through the mushroom vent and plug in the back of the radio. What are your thoughts on where to buy and what to buy? Cheers.

Tracy D'arth Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 One of these will be great, two if you want stereo. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g191278-d213881-i117249651-Jodrell_Bank_Discovery_Centre-Macclesfield_Cheshire_England.html TD' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are loads on eBay/amazon, mainly promoted for vehicles but they should work just aswell on a steel narrowboat. Just make sure you get an f connector type. You may need to screw the vent off to get the f connector through or cut it off and replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onewheeler Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I bought one from Halfords. Probably cheaper elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeping Up Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Have you considered an alternative? We bought one that just sticks to the inside of a window and it's surprisingly good. All over the country it gets good reception, except when we turn on the indoor led light tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire cat Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Just realised I left mine out last time we were on board. I hope it's still there tomorrow. I got mine from here after a recommendation from someone else on here I think dabonwheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only have 1 small porthole so not really a goer. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
