Review on πŸ“» Improved FM/AM Reception: Rydonair Antenna - Compatible with Jeep Wrangler JK JKU JL JLU Rubicon Sahara (2007-2021), 13 inches Flexible Rubber Antenna Replacement, Designed for Optimized Reception by Carlos Burrows

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Reduced reception - but that's physics

Ordered after reading many reviews. I also knew what I was getting myself into with a shorter antenna. I needed a shorter antenna that wouldn't catch on low branches and bounce back against my windshield and Freedom fiberglass panels. Looks great. Great fit. Ease of installation. And I did notice a little audio glitching when listening to local stations, but I expected that. All of this affects wavelengths and reception angles / distances / signal strength. Short wavelength = shorter antenna. Longer wavelengths require longer antennas. My standard antenna sits in my garage in case I ever want to switch back. As a satellite radio listener, I'm good 80% of the time. Don't expect perfect reception by installing a shorter antenna - it's simple physics.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Expensive
