Review on ONE250 8&#34 Car Electronics & Accessories ... Car Electronics Accessories by Derek Kraft

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suitable for 2003 S10 Good fit for antennas

This review is for the ONE250 8 inch flex copper core helical antenna for Chevy. This antenna comes with several adapters, one of which fits onto the antenna base of a 2003 Chevy S10. .The antenna sold here does not have the characteristics of the original factory antenna on our truck. The reception of local FM stations is not as good as the original. Distant FM stations are problematic at best. Static noise can now be heard on the antenna the truck's ignition system. AM radio, which was not there before. The reason for the worse antenna replacement was the need to distribute our own Korean-made eco-box in the parking lots of local malls and malls. I couldn't find any adapters to use the car antenna for the truck. And the antenna truck is the most sensible "flagpole" I can think of (see second photos). In any case, adapters would probably be more expensive to order and ship if I could find them. Now the Chevy's antenna acts as a raised flag on the car, clearly visible from across the parking lot. Finally, this antenna meets our requirements. We rarely use the truck's walkie-talkie, so its new lower power isn't a huge loss. Anyone looking for a real quality antenna and expecting good radio reception should keep looking (in my experience based on EBO opinion LOL). The real antenna is a star. Since he worked to meet our needs, I give him a three. PS I used one of the other adapters with this kit to adapt the truck antenna to the car, hence the 3 stars.
