You would have to bind up the extra, but it wouldn't harm the signal. http://www.tss-radio.com/20%C3%82%E2%80%99-vehicle-antenna-extension-cable-p-4098.html Also you could go with something like this: http://www.techtoolsupply.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1526 But that would not have a built-in amplifier like the 20ft extension cable does, so you may lose a bit of signal. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Unfortunately, the magnetic antenna is not able to be used with the boombox. Any Suggestions? I use a boombox in my work vehicle and would like to use the vehicle magnetic mount antenna.

Any Suggestions?

It's in instant way to ruin an antenna. The antennas are highly sensitive to crimping or cuts, the cables cannot be joined together once severed. The best thing to do is put an antenna on each vehicle. If I did answer your question, let me know but I think I understand what you are trying to do. Let me know. Thanks for reading.

Question Can I cut the antenna cable to the docking part and use electrical quick couplers and put a new antenna on the other vehicle. And use the transmitter in both vehicles?
