Replacing windshield antenna with fender mounted Antenna

  Yes. Like 5000TQ.
  I use a 5000TQ antena cable on my 100Q from a 5000TQ87. works good for FM. I dont listen AM.

    Patient: 90 100q
    Symptom: Original Delta radio, poor radio reception.

    Since I bought the car in 1999, I have had lousy radio reception with engine
    running, especially the AM stations.
    The radio reception clears up with engine off.

    Instead of screwing around with the amplifier in the back and trying to
    figure out what the problem is, I'd rather install a standard rear fender
    mounted antenna.
    Are there any issues with the antenna cable connections at the radio?
    Do I need an antenna cable interface adapter?
    Can I just disconnect the front windshield antenna from the radio and only
    use the rear antenna?
    Do I need a termination resistor or short at the disconnected front antenna
    input jack?

    Any BTDT would be appreciated.
