I installed mine last night, and it's very nice. Surprizingly good reception, maybe better than the stock fishing pole. Worth the $12 I paid.

 

Yes sir, I have been very please with my stubby antenna. Glad you got it and are liking it Jeff

 

same here...that stub is one of the best things I have done....good reception and got rid of the LLLLoooonng stocker

 

the stubby was the first thing i did, i love it. However i haven't used the regular radio with it, so i don't know about the reception... xm or the ipod all the time.

 

I have heard that some of the stubbies are better that others. Any opinions?

 

I got the same antenna... Liked it at first--good reception on AM "talk"/news stations.. Good reception on local FM (strong signal)...

But a couple of stations I listen to are in L.A.--about 75 miles away (powerful stations)... The Stubby won't capture them without static.. the Standard antenna brings them in A-OK...

Good thing I can switch antennas so quickly without tools!!

 

Are stubbies better than chubbies?

 

I have the same experience, most come in fine, but a couple don't work until I top the hill about a mile from my house...gives me a chance for some morning "meditation" before I make it close enough to work to hear the noise.

Old one worked fine, but I like the stubby enough that I never bother to change it...keep the old in the back just in case

 

and the stock screw on and off like most all others?

 

Man you're lucky. Mine always sucked when I bought an aftermarket antenna
