Can the XES-T1 diversity antenna be controlled by the 910/C90?\
If so, that might be an option for you who are having troubles. My
friend's C90 gets poorer reception than his factory deck also.
Let me ask - when you DO get stations, are they beautifully clear? If so
this may be because the 910/C90 are too picky?

I'm using the stock antenna too. Maybe its the generic adapter I'm using
for GM cars. If its not the adapter then it the deck.

I don't get these comments at all. I've had three models of sony HUs,
starting with the XR-7280, then an XR-C910, and now the C90. The FM
sections have been superb in each.
A few weeks ago I was driving around Los Angeles (mostly Hollywood / Santa
Monica areas). The C90 was getting several San Diego stations relatively
"solid". Even some that were adjacent to strong LA locals... that's 120
miles or so. There was some fluttering due to multipath and "picket
fencing" but that is normal for mobile FM reception of weak signals,
particularly if you're driving among or near tall buildings or hills. On LA
stations reception was flawless, even through the depths of e.g. Topanga or
Coldwater Canyon.
My recollections of the C910 and 7280's performance are similar. At the time
I had the 7280 I was doing a lot of work in LA. I always marveled at how
well it picked up San Diego stations.
The AM sections are decent, too. I can easily read KFI AM (Los Angeles) in
San Francisco, or KCBS (San Francisco) here in San Diego - the latter has to
be at night, as there's a daytime-only LA station on their channel. That's
about 450 miles.
All this is with the stock antenna on the car (92 Supra; with the 7280 it
was an 85 Supra).
Maybe it's not the design of the tuner section that's the problem, but
Sony's QC? It doesn't take much misalignment to turn even an excellent
tuner into a piece of junk.

I agree with Jamie, I've used the c90 since it came out in 98, and the C910
before that. Honestly the only complaint that I have about the reception is
that it's so clear it almost picks up too much. Living in the city, and
driving through downtown, multiple signals are often picked up and the sound
seems to fade and change phase. But honestly, once out of downtown, the
reception is better than any radio i've used or heard. I think the biggest
issue here is moreso the quality of sound the receiver puts out makes it
more evident when the reception fades. Either that or your antennas need to
be replaced, although I'm using a factory installed one myself and I feel
that is quite sufficient.
Just another comment. I finally bought a new amp for my system and now have
the front components bi-amped. I cannot begin to describe how much all you
are missing if you are still using a passive crossover to drive components
in your system. I actually dropped over 50% in watts driving my front
components, and yet the sound is louder, clearer, more distinct, and
sonically deep than I can even begin to explain. Has anyone else recently
made this sort of upgrade? I'm still in awe, I didn't think it could get
much better than it was, I am surprised, and can't believe it took me this
long to go 4-way!
