Though I always "heard" that you wouldnt get a good signal trying to run a radio off just those.

when you pull the radio out there should be 2 antenna hookups...
i think 1 female and 1 male.... i made a "Y" conector with 2 male and 1 female so that i could hook up both antennas so that when i fix the rear one i dont have to pull the radio out again.

Yeah...Thats why I said it that way.
Never tried it myself...Its just what I hear.
However, just to be technical, youre statement is somewhat self defeating. I hear from you that it works, yet then you say you cant believe everything you hear
