Default Stubby Antenna

Need a stubby antenna or any antenna that is under 6" or so.

Hit me up with what you got and your price. Paying via PayPal.

Thanks!

FYI, you can also shorten your factory antenna if it's hitting something. I pulled the ball off the end, cut the antenna, glued ball back on with gorilla glue. Radio still works.


stubby info is on the forum but reception will be lower.

Rubber ducky ant available at most any parts store or just twist the ball off your ant. cut it to whatever length you want then reinstall The ball with JB weld, may have to grind tip to fit into hole in the ball. May weaken AM reception, Wont affect FM or sat radio

Has anyone noticed any difference in reception (better or worse) with a stubby? Anyone ever kept their stubby on while going through a car wash?

Not a single stubby antenna has ever worked for me. Unless you're right next to the tower they are pretty much useless. Don't waste your money IMHO.
