Review on AntennaMastsRus 8 Inch Black Short Antenna - Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2006-2022) Compatible - Spiral Wind Noise Cancellation - Spring Steel Construction by July Sin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Bought for 2019 GMC 3500 HD

This 8" antenna was purchased to replace a 31" OEM antenna - mainly because of the tall OEM antenna was bent during a car wash. This 8" replacement antenna fits perfectly with the included adapter and the style and appearance is exactly the same as the standard OEM antenna. FM transmitters, 11 stations in total. With this 8" Antenna received SEEK zero AM stations and 2 FM stations were not strong enough for the SEEK function to detect and stop the signal In my very subjective opinion the degradation when switching from 31" to 8" was about 25-30% of signal strength Conclusion: 5 stars for aesthetics but only 3.5 stars for performance (1) If you don't listen to terrestrial radio, this is an aesthetic upgrade (2) If you travel a lot and therefore with terrestrial radio stations in d If you are unfamiliar with the area you are traversing and are responding to terrestrial radio, consider using the standard 31-inch antenna. OR . Try an 18" antenna from the same manufacturer as [theoretically], which should strike a better balance between aesthetics and performance.

Pros
  • 7" BLACK cone antenna - spring steel construction!!
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
