I got one and installed it for the 'clean look' and cant pick up a station when the stereo 'seeks'. about to toss it in the trash! | | |

I've never had one but have seen them used on rods I've seen at shows

Certainly, those little mini-things are always worthless.

where I've seen'em is mounted under the running boards on hot rods - works there, but no tellin what make they were - have you tried talking to the maker?

(used in the front furrin section)It was the type that had about a 3' main line and 2 ears that went out along the roof where I had my overhead console. , when I moved the radio to the dash I just mounted the ant. ears along the inside of the firewall under the dash out of site.
There is also a co. now called secretaudio that has a "hidden" ant. but my motor cycle ant. worked great
Good Luck, bowtie | | |
