Well after driving around for about 20mins, scrolling through 20+ stations, went back to SXM and Pandora. FM isn't for me. Ymmv.

I don’t think I’ve even tried to see if AM / FM even works in my truck.

I installed this one on my RST:

I like it and I only listen to Sirius XM or Bluetooth anyways so the new antenna is purely cosmetic for me.

Now be nice fellows! Please explain why you are changing your antenna. Thx!

When I go to work, there is a sign I have to pass under that my antenna was whacking every time I passed underneath it. That, and the Ronin just looks cool, no whip hanging out in the wind.

I changed mine because antennas are stupid on these trucks when something like 95% of vehicles don't have them and they can still get crappy FM radio. I am almost tempted to roll without one. Just cap it maybe.

I kind of like the clearance gauge thing, I do some bit of plumbing in parking garages, and BEARLY fit in most, so if I'm scrapping the antenna, I know to be careful.

 

Oops, 3/4 ton here, disregard.

Mine constantly hit my garage door going in and out and I had to remove it every time I went through the car wash and that’s 2-3 times a week. Since I don’t use AM / FM I didn’t need the antenna anyway.

Do any of the stubby antennae get good a.m reception?

Generally, long antenna signals are better, but some stubby antennas also have good signals. This copper core spiral antenna is better than others. Do not buy a stubby metal antenna, its signal is terrible ~

I can't tell you which antenna signal is the best, but I know what antenna is the worst, short metal antenna! A good antenna must have a good internal structure to receive the signal, but the metal antenna perfectly shields everything, leaving only the appearance, just the appearance
