 OK I bought one of these Cheapy Clock , FM only Radio package deals with two 3 1/2 inch small handle bar mount speakers from Flea bay ..... I got it all connected and sounds purdy good over my Cobra pipes , anyway the problem is that the little 14 ga. blue antenna wire that comes out from behind the radio , at the end of the wire it has like a little bulb at the end of the wire so for right now it's just hanging there right around the handle bar clamp the end of the wire is touching nothing , so when I'm riding around the reception goes on and off sometimes or when I touch the wire to re-position it the radio station comes back on loud and clear as a bell .... I'm looking for suggestions , I'm assuming I need a external antenna of some type to connect , so does anybody make a small hidden antenna or maybe an antenna that I can mount to the windshield that has an adhesive I can use and also what type of connector would I use for this antenna wire that has the small bulb at the very end of the wire so I can connect to a antenna ...  Should I look at the up right type or the T-shaped antenna's I've seen on Flea bay .... Any suggestions appreciated ,Thanks the Geezer  crazy2
