well here's what I did. Went down to local stereo store and they had a powered "hidden" antenna for $60.00 That is a black plastic thingy maybe 4 inches long. half inch wide. Glues to inside top windshield- or anywhere else. Power wire hooks to keyed 12v. Works just fine, it can be seen but its certainly not obvious. Probably not as efficient as a steel traditional antenna- but I like it better,
