I went outside to mess around a bit with the antenna. I removed the rear
taillight cover and nothing changed. Still no broadcast. Then I pulled the
antenna wires out. Once I did that the radio indicated an antenna error. I
plugged them back in, it flashed "no signal" right quick and then went into
"loading". Then everything was the way it was. I must be getting a signal
because I'm not getting an error. I can also scroll though the channels and
see the names and what not. So unless this comes preprogrammed into the
hardware, I really think I'm getting the signal.
