I just got a 90 accord and the antenna is broken off. I was going to
replace the antenna with one of those cheapy non-powered ones from
walmart but when I turn on the stock radio it doesnt make any sounds at
all. No static or anything.

Is the radio itself broken too or should I just replace the antenna?

Mine was broke off. I just stuck another solid whip section into the
broke
base stem. Looks about the same as the normal antenna extended.
I just can't retract mine, but I probably wouldn't anyway.
Stick a coathanger or other piece of wire and see if it works. If not,
something is wrong with the radio. Check the fuse..
