I hate this ugly long antenna that wiggles and hit everywhere lol
I been looking online for short antennas they comes in 6 and 12 inches and they come different brands, which height and brand you folks recommend that will get me awesome reception and nice look???


Thanks again

 

short usually means compromise so they probably wont be as good as what you got now.
years ago i lost an ant on a 64 merc and tied a tiny wire to the stub, taped it over to the windshield,up ans around the edge.ly inspired the "in windshield" antennas that showed up on all new cars for years!
u could try that, black tape doesnt show on the edge.
u could run a lot under the black trim too. out of sight.

 

I put a 14" Antenna X antenna on just after I bought my H3. No problems with reception & looks good. You can also get a short rubber antenna at most of the auto part stores for under $10. They tend to get a rearward permanent lean from wind resistance but otherwise work well.

 

Thank you guys, I found one on eBay that is 6" off road and they stating its better reception of money back. so gotta check it out

 

let me know how well it works I'm looking for a good short antenna also....preferably one you don't have to take off before you go into the car wash or it gets bent.

 

So far both antennas that I ordered are garbage and got me only 4 channels!! Any idea of a particular brand anyone have that is pretty good some channels that I used to have all the time lose when I leave the city!

 

bigger is better...

 

Thanks I'll try the stubby 15 inch as my last option if that sucked too then I'll try build it inside

Thanks

 

Doesn't XM radio goes through the OnStar antenna? Might have to make a switch over.

 

on* goes thru cell towers, uhf, fm and am use the 'long" ant.
30 inches is actually best for fm and am reception is a miracle with a short ant. it depends on high power am transmitters!

oh, xm must go thru the cell ant, xm is satellite, uhf.
i unhooked my on* ant and still get connected when near a cell tower, hard to kill!!
