High-Gain Amplified FM Antenna
The Wires Zone AI-18 is an amplified electronic magnetic antenna designed for FM radio reception. Its active magnetic circuitry extracts signals from the magnetic field associated with a conductor excited by a microwave. The unit picks up nanovolt-level voltage and amplifies it for a usable signal. It installs discreetly in motorcycle saddlebags or under a vinyl convertible top.
Concealed Installations Without Metal Barriers
This antenna suits riders and drivers who need FM reception where a traditional mast cannot be mounted or where metal bodywork blocks signals. It works in saddlebags or beneath non-metallic vinyl tops because nothing metal prohibits the FM reception from reaching the antenna. Buyers whose vehicles require a roof-mounted or externally grounded antenna should look at other designs. Installers without a suitable non-metallic cavity will not benefit from this hide-away format.
Active Magnetic Circuitry For Nanovolt Pickup
The defining specification is the active magnetic circuit that extracts a signal from nanovolt voltage pickup on the FM bands. This technology allows the antenna to function while hidden inside saddlebags or under a convertible top without a direct metallic connection. Confirm that the mounting location is free of metal obstruction so the magnetic field reception remains effective. The 18 model designation identifies this specific high-gain amplified variant.
