Review on Compatible Silverado Replacement Optimized Reception by Kaveen Reyes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Reduced reception - but it's physics

I ordered this 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
  • HIGH QUALITY: Shape memory allows the antenna to return to its original position when bent. This antenna is made of high quality rubber to withstand extreme weather conditions.
Cons
  • Requires socket
