Just wondering about pros/cons of installing a stubby antenna vs a retractable one. I've seen a lot of discussion here about stubby antennas, and I realize there are some preferred models and some to avoid, but I haven't seen much about powered retractable.

Has anybody installed power retractable? How is the reception?

Please chime in with your thoughts or comments.
