Very satisfied: Antennas

Highly recommend this product especially if you are a truck driver. The regular antenna that comes with a satellite radio is really just junk. It always turns off when I'm driving under an overpass or walking in a dense forest. With this real antenna I didn't have this problem at all. It's very safe. Very happy with it. And it's more than half the price of the robbers (truck stops) who sell it! Truck yards are just as bad as the IRS!

Pros
  • Beautifully packaged
Cons
  • Reliable

The reception is poor compared to the factory-installed Sirius in the car.

My husband doesn't have the Sirius option in his truck so I bought him a docking station and antenna. However, I was very disappointed with the reception I get on the back street where we live comparing his truck to my factory Sirius which is installed in my car. He gets half the signal from the tram antenna that I get in my car. It either turns it off, then constantly. So disappointing. I noticed that Amazon offers a "Trucker" tram antenna for only $10 more. I ordered it.

  • New

Worked great for a while.

I was fed up with my Onyx and it said "ANTENNA IS DAMAGED OR NOT CONNECTED" so I switched to this antenna hoping it was the antenna and no suppurating block of onyx. I drilled holes and attached the antenna to the trunk of my jeep. This antenna worked AMAZING for about 2 months, after which I got the message "ANTENNA DEMAGED OR NOT CONNECTED" again. I haven't been able to use my satellite radio for about 6 weeks now and have bought a better antenna model hoping it will last longer than 2…

Radio Antenna Upgrade Needed

I bought these because my standard magnetic antenna never worked properly. I rarely had 3 full signal bars and mostly had to shake the connection to the back of the device. I searched a little and found this product. Very impressed with the signal strength I am now getting for my radio. Usually always a full signal, even when driving under overpasses. This was bought for a small SUV, easy to install on my roof rack (had to buy bigger screws). My only issue is that it doesn't flex at all. It is…

  • Great Price

Slip Seater A dream come true

I'm a trucker who folds the seats every shift (for non-truckers that means changing trucks) and wanted to add satellite radio but can't install an antenna in some permanent way. So I chose the TRAM 7743 satellite radio reflector antenna on a strong aluminum suction cup with a double vacuum handle (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTA9QVX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). I can attach it to the passenger window in less than 2 minutes and take it off in the same amount of…

Pros
  • Trial for one year
Cons
  • No instructions

Slip Seater Dream Come True

I'm a trucker who changes seats every shift (for non-truckers this means I change trucks every day) and wanted to add satellite radio but can do not install an antenna in any permanent way. So I came up with the idea of using a TRAM 7743 satellite radio reflector antenna on a heavy duty aluminum suction cup with double vacuum handle (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MTA9QVX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01 ?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). I can attach it to the passenger window in less than 2 minutes…

Pros
  • AV Accessory
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

Works even better with a modified mount. .

Great antenna for the price. First, let me tell you how I made this product even better. I bought an extra CB mount and enlarged the hole to 5/8 inch. I then took a 5" bolt and put it into the enlarged hole on the bracket. You will also need two (2) nuts for the bolt, 1 for the top of the bracket and 1 for the bottom. I then installed my new bracket on a pole at the rear of the cabin.This created a short distance to the cockpit to allow full access for trouble free reception of the satellite…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Can't remember

Use: Commercial vehicle (semi-truck) - Radio not factory installed. The standard antenna washer that came with the kit when the company installed it was literally just thrown onto the dash. The signal received was intermittent at best and the signal was not possible when the vehicle was pointing in any north/east direction. Compared to the standard washer that came with the radio/receiver, this is definitely an improvement! Installation was easy enough, while far from ideal I still get a…

Pros
  • Radio antennas
