I cannot even spell my personal email correctly...

As far as short wave is concerned I can just say that in France we have FM (Frequency Modulation) and this is around 100 MHz and AM (Amplitude Modulation) about Khz I believe (I need to check that). Using the automatic memory system of the radio I can place into memory 10 stations on FM1 , then 10 stations on FM2, then only few stations 3 or 4 on AM with the C70 factory antenna
With the smaller antenna I can find the same stations on FM1, FM2 and AM with the same sound quality.
hmmm nice antenna...i have newly high quality performance volvo antenna mounted, that is match to my vehicle’s system...thnx volvo for the finest quality of engineering.
Has anyone else experienced this when opening or closing the roof? I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen if for myself. I have a feeling the dealer is not going to believe me. I was hoping that it was a common problem.
I've never had that problem with my 2007 - there must be a fairly significant bend to your antenna. Can't you just bend it the other way for a while to get it to straighten out? A replacement antenna shouldn't amount to much money, in any case. Thre is a set of posts on this forum talking about a "shortie" replacement antenna, for a little bit sleeker look. It would also probably solve the problem. (See the C70 Antenna thread.)
I am new to this forum and I am interested in purchasing a "shortie " antenna for my 2008 C70. I have search all over the net without success. Can someone tell me where I can get one? Thanks.
I have a 2008 C70 which does the same thing, every now and then the aerial will decide to get trapped in the trunk, I now monitor progress in the wing mirror. Is there an alternative, a retractable soulution???
I have not seen any retractable antennas, but there are third-party replacement antennas which are shorter in length and visually much less obtrusive; perhaps they would also be less likely to get snagged by the top. See http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f115c31
Does anyone know if the antenna on a 2012 Volvo C70 is removable? The service tech said it was but when I tried to remove it before going through a car wash, just the rubber sheath turned a little. It never came loose and I could not get it off. I've had to leave it on during car washes, but it looks like it's starting to pull away from the base. I am concerned about damaging it. The owner guide is silent on the issue.
A) We need to find you a place with hand washing or a no-touch spray. 2) Unless I was dreaming, I've removed the antennae stalk by unscrewing it, leaving a 2-3 inch 'stub' protruding from the fender. This was on the '08 and '11 model years. I'm not aware of a change for '12. Seriously, none of our three C70 convertibles has seen the inside of a 'contact' car wash. Fortunately, we have plenty of 'no-touch' washes around and our 'car spa' uses humans with towels or hand-held brushes. The Entertainment Book coupon gets us a complete interior/exterior cleaning with wheel and tire dressing for $12. :shades:
We're under pretty severe watering restrictions because of our two-year drought. No washing at home except one morning a week. :surprise:

Ooops, sorry, couldn't resist that one - but yes, it does look good.

You could be surprised with the results.
At least in Europe/France you just don't need it...
