Shorter Antenna

[rjmoose]

My Antenna on my brand new H3 hits my garage door badly every time I go in and out of it. Can you guys give me any advice/recommendations on either of the following products:

Thanks in advance.......

I have an antennax installed. I didn't like the big whip antenna when I first got my H3.

The shorter antenna works fine. However there will be a reduction of some radio reception, but since I mainly listen to XM it really doesn't matter much to me.

I have this exact antenna and it works great.

I have the same problem...l have removed the antenna several times since I don't use AM/ FM much. But it also helps to gauge the height of parking garages /etc. I am on the fence about the short antenna.

I went with this one:

The long antenna is a great gage for parking garages. It does unnerve you a little bit when you start hitting the ceiling with it, but is better than scraping the roof.

auto zone or pep boys, look for the universal small whip. 12 bucks and your done

I've tried two of the antenna listed above and I really don't want to knock any brand names or vendors, but they are crappy.The rubber one gets permanently bent like a pretzel as soon as you do 50mph.My best advice is "you get what you pay for".I personally would spend a few extra bucks and purchase a quality item.

I agree, so which "quality" one would you suggest?

I have xm so I dion't listen to he radio that much, but does the shorter antenna get as good of reception as the long one?
