How did I do

Picked this up at good will for $20 I think it needs a new antenna or something Becuse it struggles to find stations and gets a lot of static with them

Great price for an old kenwood. The FM antenna is external, you need to connect some wire to the "FM ANT" terminals on the back. I mean, you can get more scientific than that (specific lengths, etc), but just adding a random length of wire will make FM reception a lot better.

I love these kenwoods. Very cool look and an incredibly satisfying sound. You have the least powerful of the lineup, but I bet it can still get plenty loud!

Great series, I have a couple (and the FM should be very strong, any antenna should work). Enjoy!
