Shorty Antenna

**unplugged** · 06-30-2007, 08:57 PM

Got the antennas (antennae?) in the mail today. Opened the package, read the instructions, and went about installing the 14" on my 06 Silverado. It couldn't have been an easier installation. Twist counterclockwise and remove the old antenna, and twist clockwise to install the new one. (Lefty loosey, Righty tighty.) The antenna does come supplied with various adapters to fit a myriad of applications. The black finish blends well with the trim on the truck. Initial tests show that I can receive the same stations as the original. I will report back with more extensive performance results as I test drive the Mojave Desert. I also bought the 8" model and will try switching it out for comparison.

I don't think you could put it thru a more extreme test!

I got one for the Trailblazer and it hooked up instantly with no change really in the way the radio functions. It's basicly 100% the same in terms of radio reception.

Where did you get the antennas at?
If you have a website, I would like to order a couple.

Have had one for about 2 years... same reception as my stock antenna.

Here's a good picture of the antennae I have on my trucks, it's a fishing pole LOL. I bought it as a joke originally, but people at the shows go nuts for this thing. $35.99 at www.stylintrucks.com Believe it or not it's actually functional, I haven't fished with it yet though.
