Very weak magnet, ideal for car electronics accessories

This antenna performs well, but the magnet is very weak. A strong gust of wind or highway driving at 75 mph will turn off this antenna immediately.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Volume

Expect it to lose over 15mph

Antenna may work fine but magnetic properties are abysmal. I'm disappointed it has to be good if it's a SureCall. I wanted to use this for simplicity instead of using a stud on an omnidirectional antenna.

Pros
  • Understandable even for old ones
Cons
  • No instructions

Very weak magnetic base

Other reviewers say the quality of the antenna is good and its (performance) is better than the SureCall rib antenna. The magnetic base is useless though, you know how it holds up on a moving vehicle and it's a shame for what a good antenna could have been.

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Can't tell the difference?

I don't know if this antenna will help at all. I bought this to permanently install on my truck because I didn't want you to keep removing the antenna. When I compared it to a booster, fusion2go couldn't say much about boost. As I said in a previous review, $400 was a waste of money because you had next to nothing on the booster.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Great idea BUT.

I like the performance of the product. It has better gain than the original shark fin antenna, but it's missing an important part. MAGNET. To be honest this magnet sucks. Much higher magnetism would be great considering this is for the exterior of a car. I had to stop twice at the side of the freeway to reattach the antenna after my car's roof blew off. This is totally disappointing. I would like to find a compatible base with a much stronger magnet. If it had a stronger magnet it would have…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • I don't really like anything, everything is good
