Did it improve reception over the stock 31" mast? My issue is that my reception with the all stock system SUCKS! I'm looking for a way to improve it. Thanks.This is the one to get. I get great reception everywhere (i travel a lot) and it looks cool.

Got my shorty antenna from Pep Boys, $12.95. It is 9 1/2: tall and is rubberized. Works wonderfully well. However others like them also, have had to replace it twice. But replaced them, I do like them a lot !!!!!I have read a handful of post about the stubby and don't want to clog the threads with another. But I am wondering if anyone has any opinions on the Stubby or if there is another brand/type you like? Or is there some cooler types that express more than your basic black short antenna?
I think it looks pretty good, especially compared to stock--this picture shows mine--vms racing 9" -works great for 20kms or so--mine is color matched so its hard to see-but thats the whole point to me.I’ve tried 2 brands of 50cal bullet stubby antennas and they all look good but suck for regular radio reception.
This black one came with a small mast to raise it up 8” but it looks terrible with it.

Well then you are sadly mistaken--Ive use 2-3-4-5" stubbies that worked progressively better as the height increased. I found the 9" worked very well-I would have bought the 13" for even better signal,but it wasnt red dark red to match my truck. If I installed a signal amplifier, then even the 2" stubby would suffice. And I know car radios too!!I am in the car audio business.There is no way to replace your 31 inch steel mast with a stubby and get radio reception.They are strictly for looks.The cars you see with short roof mount antennas have a signal amplifier in the base.
Hello,So, this is the one. I'm a little skeptical since I bought one of the black aluminum "Original Stubby" antennas from Craven Speed and it had essentially no radio reception at all. I'm tempted to take a chance on the one you recommend but I don't want to waste another $25 if it doesn't work.
Has anyone else had experience with this antenna from Antenna Source?

That's the same one I installed on Mine and the reception is as good as the OEM.This is the one to get. I get great reception everywhere (i travel a lot) and it looks cool.

Hello,
Years ago I signed our company up for an account here and have not had the time to fully invest to be useful. We have a small crew, my apologies! We still get emails periodically from the forum on subjects and saw there is antenna conversation along with our name mentioned, so I had to post and introduce. We are a family run operation in Manitowoc, Wi that specializes in AM/FM antennas. We have been doing so since 1999. If one has any questions feel free to send an email my way.

There are no commercials on the music channels.I can't stand the chatter and commercials on the radio and I am not gonna pay for satellite radio so I can listen to their commercials either.
