Fix for poor reception - Toyota Yaris Forums

CTScott,

All the booster really does is to make some stations strong enough to get a ST stereo lock. It isn't enough to bring in stations that you were not getting without it.
I had tried an in-line noise filter, but that had no noticeable effect. The booster helps slightly on a handful of stations when I go skiing or on other trips where reception gets weak.
The primary effect without the booster is what sounds like more static where reception is weak.

It is not in the Radio Shack stores any longer. (I knew about it from working there part time many years ago.) I got mine from eBay. I think some marine outlets have it as an accessory for stereos on boats.
