[QUOTE="ignorant1, post: 8231686, member: 659635"] Well, it seems that I'm just talking to myself here at this point, but for future referrence by anyone needing help with this same problem - here is the outcome: I replaced the antenna connector on the factory coax cable with a motorola style male plug. This way, I don't need any adapter for the aftermarket HU. Ever since doing that, the reception has been excellent - so far. It hasn't done its intermittent loss of signal - yet. So it seems like the antenna amp was NOT at fault, it was apparently a bad connection at or near the original coax connector. BUT... I'll give it another week or two and give a final update. [/QUOTE]
