I have the stubby B antenna, but have poor reception here. I experimented with the stock antenna and it has much better reception. I do listen to radio on occassion, and am curious if any stubby antenna's get reception as good as the stock antenna?
Well the saying it's not the size, it's how you use it does not apply to antenna's. That said, the larger antennas will get better reception. Different headunits can manage better with less reception. The best solution is just to get XM radio. After you've had it for a few months you'll never listen to the regular radio again.I have the stubby B antenna, but have poor reception here.

:agree: I love the XM radio --- have 3 or 4 favorites pre-set and can always find a great tune to listen to.Well the saying it's not the size, it's how you use it does not apply to antenna's.

We're lucky here in that regard. All the stations brag about pumping out however many bagillion watts to cancer causing levels so we can all hear our music many miles awayI live just outside Chicago, and sometimes I will get some 'fading' on a few local stations...but nothing worth complaining about.
Florida Gulf Coast is not so fortunate.We're lucky here in that regard. All the stations brag about pumping out however many bagillion watts to cancer causing levels so we can all hear our music many miles away![]()
After I broke off the stubby antannae putting stuff in the trunk, I put the original back on. Will keep using the GM original since one of the stations I listen to mostly is a bit distant from me and the original pulls that station in better.I have the stubby B antenna, but have poor reception here.

Looks like you're still doing 65 mph... Love that look...:lol: :lol: :lol: :thumbs:I'm not sure how flexible the other shorties are, but this is now so swept back from freeway driving that even when parked, it makes the car look fast!![]()
For what i listen to, mostly rock, i personally can't stand XM. I sell both sirius and XM where i work and i always find good stuff on sirius. Just my preference but I think XM is pretty awful, I know a lot of you like it, just not my cup of tea. I say go siruis if you're going to do either.Well the saying it's not the size, it's how you use it does not apply to antenna's. That said, the larger antennas will get better reception.

My wife gave me the same face when I said the antenna was "too high".I will check out Best Buy here, and look over that Antenna wife kinda gave me that face...![]()
