Hello, all.  Happy Sunday.  Getting some static on the receiver and I
remember tht when I bought the antenna adapter 2 years ago, there is a blue
wire coming from it.  Says it is the power antenea wire, but no power
antenna on van.  Radio dude had mentioned that I could use it to improve
reception if I connected it to a 12V source.  Is this correct? Any other
advice or an upgrade from the stock antenna?  Thanks.
