I only need a new antenna for this Sony radio model. Can you direct me to an antenna that is right for this radio? Or would any antenna be good?

Go to yellow pages. Find an electronic servicer that deals with sony. They should try to order it.

As yet have not received the antenna....might not get it till round the end of the month. So, if you find out about a good mobile mount for the four band antenna, I would like to know. I plan to mount on top of a one of my luggage rack arms (GMC Envoy).

I have never seen a radio antenna with that connection in 50 years of stereo & radio ownership. I have owned Sony products since my parents in 1960's

Look for a power antenna wire. It will also work. If that is not available you can use a switched source from radio or your fuse panel.

I bought the same junk. Mine doesn't work either. I am not climbing a 50' tower to bring it down and send back. Amazon has been no help in this matter. I refuse to order any more merchandise from Amazon due to their not caring attitude for long service customers. The antenna is just plastic junk never designed to work properly. Many of us have been fooled.

Hi Railson....I do not understand your question, "Higher gain antennas recommendations ?"....could you please clarify. Thank you Chris

This is ideal if the new antenna has a BNC connector. That's exactly why I got this item.

Give it a try. Let me know if it works for you and I will try it. I think my radio is the problem. What is the odds I get the only faulty antenna made. My Bose Wave has never picked up good signal.

It could be done. First try to use a simple piece of stiff wire, like a brazing rod or a bicycle wheel spoke. If you can get that to contact a place in the center of where the metal antenna normally goes, then you could figure a way to make this work. Replacement antennas similar to the original one are available for about the same price as this unit...or make your own with wire.

Be glad you didn't get the Haier. I received mine Friday and I have been unable to get but only one channel and it isn't even clear. I saw other reviewers complaining about this but I thought that since I live in a metropolitan area that I wouldn't have any problems. Boy was I wrong. I am returning the Haier today and will try the Axion as I think the extra antenna they provide will do the trick.

I have an aftermarket Sony stereo and had to remove it from the dash to gain access to the antenna connection. The antenna connector is on the back of the radio. There may be a connector that must be removed from the unit or antenna cable (no tools required) to allow this to plug in to the back. Mine wasn't apparent at first but I finally figured it out. Hope this helps.

I have a similar situation but don't know if it will work for you. The DB8e is the most powerful antenna I found so if it doesn't work, I don't know what would. My stations are all within 10 miles of my house. Locate the antenna where it isn't blocked by trees close to the antenna.

I love http://amazon.com. But it is hard to match the antennas on there. It is hard to judge the lengths of the ones they offer. I ordered one I thought would fit mine. But it is too short. I will have to order it directly from Sony.

Raise the antenna. Maybe purchase an external antenna and plug it into the antenna slot.

I used a plain old fashioned cheapie kind and it works fine. (I got it here at Amazon - an RCA that cost about 10 bucks.) No such thing as a "digital" antenna. This one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HKGK8Y/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is it true that the 920 doesn't have antenna hook-ups? I did a comparison at Sony's site and it shows the 820 with an FM and an AM antenna, but nothing for the 920. I live out in the country and I'm afraid without antenna connections I'll not be able to get an over the air radio stations. Thanks.

Yes, but drilled hole on new antenna was off hole on radio, so had to remove sm. part on radio to accommodate new atenna. Keep all old parts for any adaptation needed...
