A while ago I changed the factory antenna on my Jeep TJ for a short 7.5" antenna. I liked the look but felt like I couldn't get the reception on some FM stations and almost all AM stations lost. This antenna is longer so I thought the reception would be better. It looks nice. It's not as intrusive as the factory antenna and doesn't wobble or twitch while driving. Functionally, it doesn't pick up FM radio stations as well like the factory antenna but has slightly better reception.than my smaller one.For the AM stations, reception is almost identical to the smaller one I have.It also comes with adapters for different car models which adds to its versatility.The Cost seems pretty reasonable for what you get, if you use FM radios primarily and want a cleaner look than a factory antenna then this is a worthwhile purchase.
