Recommended Posts

I was looking to upgrade my antenna to something smaller but still able to pull in the frequency.

 

Any recommendations???

Depending on how close to the city you are you can get away with most stubby antennas. I live about 30-45 min outside the city and have the ronnin 4” stubby and I didn’t really lose any reception for FM.

I put a stubby on mine and live in the heart of Dallas and lost a ton of volume on radio stations. Not really a big deal for me as I only listen to satellite. I did it mainly for looks

So Ronin works well with satellite xm.

Your satellite radio runs off of a completely different antenna, so if you use satellite radio get any antenna you want because it’s not going to be affected.

I have a ronin, HD radio goes in and out. So in reality it's not great for fm but it looks so much better.

So longer the antenna better frequencies...

I got mine from RECON, their 8-inch stubby antenna.  Have not had any issues with AM/FM reception but I do mostly listen to XM anyway.

Or completely delete your AM/FM antenna, if you don’t listen to it.

I’ve got the antenna-x 13” “off road” antenna. I was sick of slapping the conduit in my works parking garage. I listen to quite a bit AM radio still and no issues with reception. Nice basic looking antenna. Those bullet ones tend to go missing a lot from cars. Pretty easy to steal.

I have a Ronin stubby. Looks great. Lost some frequency on various radio channels, but nothing I can’t live without. Thumbs up for me.

I got a shorty off of amazon and it works good so far. I live in the city (DFW) so cant speak for it working out in the country but will update once i get that experience. The one i got was easy install. Unscrew stock one and screw this one right on. I have been able to get all my stations FM/AM along with everything with no issues. Sound Quality is exact same. I did keep my stock one just in case but all the reviews were good on this one. I’ll post pic below.

Can I say that I love the long antenna because it is a height marker for the top of the truck? Like a curb feeler for the roof. It gives me just enough time and space to react before I smack the roof onto something. Saved me one already and for that, I will keep it. I can say I never see it while driving so it is hardly a bother.
