Hey- I just joined so I could answer this question someone pointed out to me, but I am also glad to help with anything else if you want to email or PM me. You can get good reception with our Stubby and you actually probably will, like most people. Its just the folks who don't are way more likely to go write a review. There are a lot of good reviews too. The most important thing though, we are a small company with a product we make in the USA, and we take Free Returns. If you want to try a Stubby, go for it. If you find that reception where you drive suffers, just email us and we will send you a pre-paid return label and get you a free refund. That is true if you get it direct from us or from Amazon.
I hope I have not barged in to strong, the bad reviews we have are real, but so are the good ones. If you want to, give us a shot. Thanks!
