How to replace the coax cable on the Polaroid antenna. The one that is installed at factory is not very good for outdoor use. It gets brittle and breaks after a couple of years.

Make sure it is in the " on air or antenna mode" Then scan for channels. Also check the center pin on the coax cable and make sure it goes in the center hole of the antenna connector. if that doesn't work the tv tuner migkt be defective.

Robert, Radioshack/The source any type store like this has the adapter you want. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

B2470
Cellular Phone Antenna Circuit Malfunction
VCIM
DTC B2470
DTC B2470 04: Cellular Phone Antenna Circuit Malfunction Open Circuit
The cellular antenna is connected to the communication interface module (CIM) with a RG-58 coax cable. The CIM polls the data from the cellular antenna once every second.
Circuit/System Testing
Ignition OFF, disconnect the cellular antenna coax from the CIM module and the cellular antenna.
Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the antenna coax center terminal and ground.
? If greater than the specified range, replace the antenna coax.
Ignition ON, test for less than 1 volt between the antenna coax outer shield and ground.
? If greater than the specified range, replace the antenna coax.
Test for infinite resistance between the antenna coax center terminal and ground.
? If less than the specified value, replace the antenna coax
Test for infinite resistance between the antenna coax outer shield and ground.
? If less than the specified value, replace the antenna coax
Test for less than 5 ohms at the cellular antenna coax center terminal from end to end.
? If greater than specified value, replace the cellular antenna coax cable.
Test for less than 5 ohms at the cellular antenna coax outer shield from end to end.
? If greater than specified value, replace the cellular antenna coax cable.
Test for infinite resistance between the antenna coax center terminal and the outer shield.
? If less than specified value, replace the cellular antenna coax cable.
If coax cable tests normal, replace the cellular antenna.
Clear the DTCs and operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. Verify DTC B2470 does not set.
? If the DTC sets, replace the CIM.

First what make/model of TV do you have? Does it have a digital tuner? (Manufactures had to add digital tuners at various times depending on the TV size)

Next what type of antenna or cable (basic, digital) do you have and how is it connected to the TV? Is it an indoor or outdoor antenna and is it pointed at your area stations? See antennaweb.org or tvfool.com for details on where your local OTA stations are. (Note: antennaweb assumes an outdoor antenna but is very conservative in their list.) Antennas can be turned by the wind.

Do you have an amplifier or a splitter in the system?

First, remove the amplifier or splitter and try a direct connection to the TV. (I've had amplified splitters turn into signal filters after they failed. Then they gave no signal out from certain bands. Many areas only have UHF digital stations.)

Next check your cables for damage and try replacing cables. (I recently had a cable in the wall get damaged and had to rewire that outlet. The TV got good signal if I ran a direct line across the floor to another coax jack.) Alternatively, try connecting the TV to a different coax jack.

The final thing to check is the TV's inputs. They can fail. (I lost a few analog TV tuners to a lightning surge.)

I hope this helps.

To improve reception, use a 75 Ohm outdoor antenna instead of an indoor antenna. Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with an outdoor antenna.

Having that short a range would give me the indication that there is a disconnect in the antenna system. Here's a couple of clues: Is the connector on the back of the radio connected to the coaxial cable?

If it is not factory installed connector, is it possible that the solder job on that connector was bad? If the cable is old, it could have a crack in the coax.

Is it the RIGHT kind of coax? It should be an RG-8, and RG-58, or a variation of those types of cable. It would likely be marked with "50 Ohm" somewhere along it's length.

Is the connection at the antenna solid? A firestick antenna for CB looks like this:


You must make a good connection at the base of the antenna from the center coax conductor that does NOT short it to ground, and the ground conductor should attach to the antenna mount frame.

With your symptoms, it is very likely that either the center conductor has worked loose, has become unsoldered from the terminal lug, or your coax has come unsoldered from the center pin. All of these things would really honk up your SWR, or Standing Wave Ratio, which is sort of like a string on a guitar that is tuned to a specific frequency for a specific note. The center freq of the CB band is 27.155 Mhz, so you would typically "tune" your antenna for that to be the lowest. A firestick KW is not tunable, so that should not be an issue. Look to your coax at both ends, and the coax itself to find your problem. If you have a simple ohm meter it would help to locate the short circuit. Good luck, write back if you need some assistance in further troubleshooting.

Did you use an inside or outdoor antenna? An outdoor antenna rotated in the correct direction will give you the best chance of getting any signal. Look at antennaweb.org and tvfool.com for the channels in your area, the direction in which the antenna must be pointed and the type of antenna you will need to get them. Antennaweb.org is very conservative in the channel listings even with the assumption of an external antenna. Do you have hills, trees or tall buildings between you and the various transmitters? That will block your signal strength - remember digital TV is an all-or-nothing signal.

I hope this helps.

(antennaweb indicates that my location will only get 2 channels from a transmitter 10 miles away. With a properly oriented outdoor antenna and an splitter/amplifier, I actually get those + 3 from 30 miles away on several TVs without signal loss..)

I checked out the manual for a similar model tv from polaroid...there's only one input for the coax cable from your antenna, so if the antenna's cable is connected to this input, this couldn't be the problem. What I do have trouble with on my own tv is that my indoor antenna location can make huge differences in recognizing all available digital signals. I could even have the antenna facing a different direction, and get different results. There are a few sites you can google for to find your distance from the broadcast towers, too. This might help to determine if you need a stronger antenna. It's a painfully long procedure to try different angles and positions for your antenna each time you run a channel scan, but this might be the only thing that would prevent you from picking up the digitals. I try the highest spot possible, and the one closest to the outdoors. Good luck, I hope you can pick them up soon! (Any antenna works...the industry tries to pass off "digital/hdtv specific antennas" to make a buck. I've used a cheapy rabbit-ears antenna and was able to bring in digital channels, as long as your tv or converter box is converting the signal.)

double check your connections and your cable for shorted PL 259 connectors. Oil filled antenna! Humm Sham on you if you are using a liner! Oh and quit sniping the antenna remember the higher in frequincy the shorter the antenna and longer for lower in frequincy. So it could be just where the antenna is located some antennas work good there but a diferent one wont try another spot also make sure your in a clear area when checking SWR not your drive way next to the garage or house or other car and finaly use an external SWR meter the ones on the radio some times SUCK.
