    Is it over heating? you know i took a peice of white card stock and taped above the unit to shade it in the summer , it got pretty warm other wise, and I normally directed an airconditiner air vent towrds it too. On my motocycle its open air, so it takes full sun many time. But I've had mine for 2 years, no issue.

    The lazer doent work very well in a vehicle, but dynomite on my motorcycle

    These things should be breaking like this. Imo your probably sending either a voltage surge ortransients, noise, spikes, shorts, over-loads. I would try going to a electronics store and get a 12vdc line conditioner. One that outputs a true pure sinewave. Like this

    Or just get an pure sine wave inverter like this: http://www.donrowe.com/inverters/puresine.html
    Id probably go this route becuz its always nice to plug in your comp or other electronics while on the road too.

    You want no ripple at all. You want a nice flat voltage........

    Reflections is correct, you want DC not AC (Direct Current vs Alternating Current). AC is sinusodal, DC is flat current/voltage and constant all the time.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current

    A rectifier (or diode stack like on your alternator) produces DC from AC. An alternator produces AC before going through the diode stack.
    An inverter converts DC to AC.

    What is the indication you are getting that make you believe it has a bad antenna. IE: A Certain band quits working? Or What? I want to be on the lookout for issues with mine. Tnx
