CravenSpeed is just a few miles down the road from me so I went over and got one of their shorty antennas. I was worried about reception but I was pleasantly surprised. Everything comes in loud and clear unless I'm in a tunnel.

Nope :shooter: Thats why I changed out, my fav wash has the hovering unit over the hood/cab/bed so it was catching my stocker. Good 2 Go now.
