Default Fully retractable..........

My nephew has a 1999 FRC now and wants to swap out the fixed antenna for one off of a 356 Porsche. The Porsche antenna is manual and fully adjustable. It will physically fit and we can adapt the cable but are radio antenna matched to a particular model radio? Funny in 40 years I've worked on vehicles this has never come up.
Anyways it eliminated the antenna mast and is light weight and fairly cheap at $60

antenna's are interchangable. As long as you are able to get the cable from the antenna to connect to the radio and as long as you are trying to use an AM/FM antenna on your AM/FM radio. (not trying to use say a short wave antenna, as an example, on an AM/FM radio). Antenna's are designed to receive certain frequencies, as long as you are trying to receive the same frequencies and the cable will hook up you should be ok.
