Adding 8" might solve your problem?

Antenna length = tuning for frequency range. It is a specific length for a reason.

When I worked for a M B dealer in the late 70 I found one that worked great for extending the fm range. Maybe it was made by Audiovox?

Stock length did the same thing.

I don't live in the middle of a city, I'm actually smack dab in the middle of 2 big cities. I think my location has the biggest factor in the issue. So to answer my question do they make boosters?

I was reading the reviews and hummmm. I'm curious to see if there's something out there worth wild. We live out on the lake about 45min out of town and there's a few spots where I lose the signal with my 2010 F150. But my wife's 2012 Sonata is ok.
