Stubby Antenna Reccomendations

Here’s my new-to-me 2007 CM

What stubby antennae do y’all recommend?

I almost never listen to the radio,so it would be purely cosmetic and to keep a lower profile

Take a gander at this thread on the topic.

 

I purchased mine from here....

Don't buy one, PM me your address and I'll mail you the one that was on my truck. It didn't pick up a signal very well, hence removing it and replacing it with a mid-length one.

 

This post is pretty good. I went with the $8 from Autozone. They way you describe your usage it's worth a look.

Just got back from my drive up near Central City. Actually way above around 11,000 ft. On the way up I stopped in Clear Creek Canyon. I had my stock antenna attached, and brought along a 13" Metra Roadworks carbon style, 7" Pilot stubby, 17" antennax, and a 14" Raptor shorty rubber. Yes you read that right. Shorty Rubber. I was tuned to KBPI, a fairly powerful station in Denver. I found a dead spot with the factory setup and pulled over. Swapped in the four aftermarket antennas. They all had no reception. I would have been surprised if otherwise. I then moved to a spot where the signal came, back but weak with stock antenna. Did the swaparoo again. The 17" Antennax received the signal but weak like stock. The 13" Metra and 7" Pilot both had zip for reception. The l4" Raptor rubber that I picked up at Auto Zone this morning because it looked cool actually got decent reception. It was $7.99 Go figure. I then drove up to my friends property above an old mining town called Apex. All the antennas had good reception even thought the typical Colorado spring afternoon thunder showed up making it too dicey to fool around any more. This was not the most scientific of tests but still practical. I think antennas 7" or less are really for top mount euro style mounting. They might have gotten better reception mounted on top of the cab instead of next to the windshield. Apparently price does not factor in with these particular antennas. I left the $7.99 14" Raptor antenna on. ( By the way, doing this test like I did would be a good excuse to the wifey to go 4 wheeling.)
