  • 2021 Transcend Poor Radio Reception

    I have a 2021 Transcend 240ML with the Winegard 360 all-in-one antenna. FM radio reception is pretty poor. Are there any tweaks to make this better, or is the only remedy to replace the antenna?

    You may have to remove the radio and check the antenna connection. If there is a panel inside below the Winegard to remove you may want to check that connection as well.

      Make sure you have the antenna booster turned on (should be a little LED light that comes on when you push it on).

        I did remove the radio and verified that connection was tight. I didn't know there may be a panel below the Winegard. I'll have to check that. Thanks!

          I thought the antenna booster was uhf/vhf only, so I didn't try that. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

            The antenna booster is FM as well as TV, so definitely give it a try. Note the booster switch actually switches the coax routing between the cable input and the antenna to both the TV and FM radio. This will mean if you are in a site with cable TV, you will need to choose between TV reception and FM reception.

              There was also a problem with the module mine had a red light on it. Changed out to the proper module and it has a green light as indicated in the manual>
