Looking for a new shory antenna cus the CF one I have is a POC and I know many search for the shortest with best reception.

Please post pics, size in inches, where you got it from and reception quality.


Thanks for the help.

Just go by the Dodge dealership and look at the Avenger one. It seems to be the shortest and I have never heard of any reception problems.

heres mine:
http://www.stubbyantenna.com/detail....ntenna_B_Black

can't post any pics because I'm at work. It looks great and doesn't pass the truck horizontal if that makes any sense. The reception is so-so on rainy days, other that that its perfect. I think the fact that its retractable gives it better reception, but I always leave it down and short. Looks best IMO.

2002-05 Honda Civic Si antenna & Jack (probably same as the RDX & S2000 antenna)

I'd go outside & measure it for you, but it's snowing & warm in here. I'm guessing it's about five inches.

I have great reception, also. It's a good four or five inches shorter than stock, for whatever that's worth.
