Seems you may NOT have an antenna built into your rig?
Ask your selling dealer.

It had the Factory Antenna Cable in the Cab, And after looking at pics of other 5083E's I see where the Antenna is located. I think mine may not be on the machine. I'll check it out in the morning.

Could be the factory antenna cable in the cab is part A of two parts, part B being the part that is the actual antenna, which mounts on the outside to pick up things like radio waves!:laughing:
Did you ever plug an antenna male end into your radio when you installed it?

Yes, picked up 1 radio station. Haha

How many you need? It's a tractor, not a limo!?:laughing:

I'll pass on Classic Rock. Some is good, Some is not.

The antenna kit is an extra option from the dealer. If your tractor didn't come with a radio it didn't come with an antenna.

Go back to best buy and get one of the little window mount antennas. I kept knocking off my external one and spent 25 or thirty on a window mount amped antenna. Works way better than the factory unit.



Mine is mounted on the inside of the glass right below the radio on my tn 75. Easy to run the wires (didn't even have to pull the liner) and it works great.
