[AT] Shop related - radio

[Richard Fink Sr]

Greg i don't know any thing about hooking up your antenna. The radio in my 
shop is tuned to FM also it is a car radio that i put in when the shop was 
first built 1979. Hooked to a little 12 volt power supply. It has NOT ever 
been turned off. The only time it is off is with a power failure plays 24-7
