This is the one I have. It works well for around town but when we travel I reinstall the factory antenna and get way better reception.

Thanks for the Info! Ordered the same one. Going in and out of the garage had been noisy. I think these look much better than the stubbies and reception is still great.

Can't say I've noticed any difference.

Is there any reason to spend money on an aftermarket short antenna instead of just cutting the factory antenna down? I am so tired of the SPOROIUNGINGIN when I enter my garage that I am planning on hacking about 5" off the top of my antenna. Some preliminary research says it's pretty simple to remove the ball off the tip and reinstall it on the new end of the antenna.
