Powered Antenna for 2016 F3 Limited

[SpyRyd]

BRP has given my dealer an option to install a powered antenna on my F3 Limited to fix the poor to non-existent radio reception. However, BRP does not offer a powered antenna in their parts catelog. Therefore my dealer and I have to source one.

Anyone have any experience with powered antennas and could recommend one that may work with the F3 Limited stereo and also compliment the look of my triple black F3?

Thanks all.

POWERED ANTENNAE

( I know this isn't what you asked for ,but ) I looked into this antennae thing in regards to my RT, and did put in a fully retractable Auto antennae and my reception improved quite a bit. I looked at ones that were powered and decided quickly there wasn't enough room. Now my RT probably has a lot more room than your F-3, so I don't think you will be able to do it either .... However ....why does it have to be POWERED .... That function does nothing to make the antennae any better. My non-powered antennae needed 8.5 " below surface to fit, you can angle them. Look on E-bay or Crutchfield for what's out there......good luck ..... Mike :thumbup:

I have tried 5 different power antennas claiming to be the best and not one improved the radio reception. I have found, for me, the stubby antenna worked the best. I put one on a friends RT as she just wanted the stock antenna gone as she never could us the radio, poor reception. Now her radio works great. BRP uses the same radio in the RT and F3T/Limited. Good luck to you and the dealer, keep us posted.

I would love the answer to this myself. Dealer said BRP will pay for it. But, try finding one. :yikes: Tom :spyder:

Powered Antenna?

I assume that you may be looking for an antenna that has an amplifier to boost the signal to your radio? If so checkout an RV shop as most RVs and Recreational trailers have a separate amplifier from the stubby antennas to boost the signal, the amplifier is powered by the vehicle's 12VDC system and is small enough to tuck it away somewhere as they connect to the antenna & the radio via coaxial cables. This may solve your problem.ray:
