Diagnostics
It is quite difficult to determine antenna or radio installation correctness inside city limitations. Signals are so strong, that can be received without an amplifier. If signal gets weak or disappears when leaving the city, than you should check antenna installation correctness.
Necessarily check if antenna’s position is correct depending on its work specifics. For instance, it is necessary to place straightsending antennas only vertically. Read antenna instructions and use installation suggestions. Software failures can be fixed with the help of special equipment at service stations.
Antenna does not require periodical diagnostics. Nevertheless, you should do visual analysis of connection every several months. If there is rust it is needed to apply special anti-corrosion substance to the surface.
Navigator can update information up to 20 minutes when at a start. It is so due to getting a new almanac. Antenna malfunctions have nothing to do with it.
Repair and replacement of antenna
If you have noticed, that the antenna is fixed incorrectly, it is possible to change its location. But the more functions antenna has, the more important is the correctness of its installation. If you tend to use not only radio and navigator but also a radio set, than it is better to rely on experts for antenna installation. Output signals have more strict requirements for antenna. If it is fixed in a wrong way, than the transmitter can quickly fall into disrepair.
Try to clean up electric wires and terminals if they are oxidized. If it does not help, completely replace the wiring. Replacement of antenna is required only in cases of receiving mechanism or fasteners mechanical damages.
