📡 Enhance Your AM/FM Reception with Metra 44-UT30 Universal Top Mount Replacement Antenna Review

Came bent when the box was in perfect condition. Made cheap. The cable is half the size of a regular diameter antenna. The metal mast is so thin that it even bends when touched.

The mast is bent when taken out of the box. I was able to bend it back easily. The material is so soft it bends in the wind. Cheap junk. Not what you would expect from an antenna mast.

This antenna is fine and does the job if you are around town. This is the second order of this particular antenna for a different vehicle. This time there was a bit of a disappointment as the new antenna has a different antenna cable. Now it's shorter and the new wire is the width of a coat hanger.

I like that it has a metal antenna shaft instead of the rubber shaft like other analogues. My old antenna was rubber and I was lucky enough to pick up an FM station 5 miles away. With this antenna I had stations on all AM and FM bands to listen to. The only complaint was that the cord was too short and I had to order an extension cord.

I bought this antenna to replace my broken antenna on my car and installed it. I drove around town for a few days, then had to get onto the freeway to visit family. After about 100 miles on the freeway the antenna mast came loose from my car and when I inspected it I noticed the mast had come loose on the threads so I'm back where now even a week after it was installed i was started BROKEN ANTENNA. Save money and buy a good antenna.
