Supplies 24 volts to run radio equipment or other devices. Comes in handy if you want to power accessories.
Can be switched over to 12 volts easily if needed.

Many microwave and broadcast antenna systems use 3-5 PSI for pressurizing the wave guide and air coax cables. New ones are available but expect to pay $300+ for a regulator with gauges.
Try a magnet mount antenna, a 2 meter ham antenna would be a good one to start with. It should work well for the FM band and may work well enough for the AM band.
Make sure that the center conductor of the coax cable is not shorted to the the outer shield at the antenna and at the connector on the back of the set.

Are you doing a M1008 or M1009 truck? I purchased 2 of these for 2 M1009 trucks.
The first one fit pretty well. It's not an exact fit and does not have any holes punched in it for the seats, seat belts etc.

Rick,
I used the NAPA ones on my M1009. They do fit...sorta. You might need to massage the aluminum bends on the engine side.
The next time I will replace the rubber part and reuse the aluminum ends. The factory aluminum ends are a better fit than the NAPA ones.
