I have a 2018 Swift Classic with the radio aerial built into the TV antennae (I believe) TV works fine but no signal on radio, changed it out but no go then hooked up an old car radio aerial and bingo, all works fine. Anyone else had this? I have checked the connection at the booster and ensured switched on but notice the wire coming out of the booster is white, but the wire supplying the back of the unit is black so there must be a connection somewhere ?

A model name/number for your aerial would help.

Is it one with extending radio antenae at the sides?

It might be site location, some aerials are about as good as a coat hanger. Seemingly working great in strong signal areas but total rubbish in any place less so.

The last Status aerial I had apart had no connection to the two side mounted extended aerial masts .... purely decorative 🤷‍♂️

you could disconnect both ends short out one end and using a mulitmeter do a continuity test to see if there is a break, sounds like you have already checked the coax plugs were coax can easily be pulled out Our 2015 Swift has the separate radio aerial
