Review on πŸ“» Rydonair 13-Inch Flexible Rubber Antenna Replacement for Dodge Ram 1500 (2012-2021) - Enhanced FM/AM Reception Design by Rusty Heredia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Reduced reception - but this is physics

I ordered it 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
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Negative impression
