Antenna swap

[Grumpy Wrangler]

I got tired of the 3 ft whip and decided I’d give the stubby antenna a try. If nothing else, at least the antenna won’t be banging against the window frame on bumpy trails.

Looks good!! I swapped out my whip for a 13” black one - much better.

Have you noticed a drop in reception? I’m hoping not but at the end of the day I don’t use the radio a lot.

Hah. Genetics! I’m actually digging yours! Almost embarrassed to ask but how’s the performance? Seriously though any reception issues?

 

[hutchman]

Performance is.....well.....wonderful!

Truthfully, it seems to work well with local stations, but I do not listen to FM. I install these on all my new vehicles to prevent issues in the woods. Yup, that's what I tell myself as I go through the drive through carwash!

I only listen to Sirius xm, I assume as in any vehicle Sirius xm has a separate antenna? And by the way, where heck is the Sirius xm antenna?

On top of sport bar. Also gps antenna is up there.

So they are under the roof? Odd.

I assume since the roof is some sort of composite, it doesn’t bother reception.

I also have the shorty one but have poor reception and am thinking of going back to stock for now. How is your experience?

@Grumpy Wrangler ... A few answers please:

1) What is the brand of antenna ... and, where did you get if from?
2) How is the reception?
3) Is it rigid or flexible?

 

[IPvFletch]

The roll cage should be the antenna!
