If I could find the box with the kit I bought from them I would try it. I have it somewhere. Radio reception on the rangers has been a problem for a long time it seems. My 2017 has no reception either.

Surprisingly my radio started getting reception a couple days ago. So getting a single station is great for me. Not sure what changed.

Where we live, I can only pick up one FM channel, so I’m thinking about trying an amplified antenna. Has anyone tried it on their Ranger?

I just installed an antenna from Recreational Watts and at first it did nothing but killed my GPS on my 23 ultimate. Pulled the C|RC back out and found that the blue plug they picture and tell you to use is the wrong wire. The blue is GPS, leave it alone. Unplug the black plug, which is the stick on radio antenna and plug in the new antenna . I went from 3 FM local stations to about 20 FM stations. Big improvement!

Any pictures of the antenna?

Was it the same one that’s listed in the link?

Just make sure you get it hooked up to the right terminal. Recreational Watts has the wrong color picked out for a 2023 Ultimate. They want you to use the blue and in fact it should be black. Find the original stick on antenna under drivers side fender and chase the wire back to the radio. It should be the black wire. I saw a big improvement after I got it hooked up right.
