AntennaMastsRus - The Original 6 3/4 INCH

[northerner77]

I just ordered this as my current F150 antenna always smacks my garage door when I pull in and I don’t want the new Raptor doing that when I get it next month. I don’t listen to a lot of normal radio, most streaming music from iPhone or satellite but I do check AM once in awhile for weather, news and traffic. I live 50 miles outside Detroit so very urban terrain.

Anyone have an experience with this brand?

I bought a few different ones and that's the one I ended up keeping.
The 4" ones had really crappy reception but this one worked much better for FM reception.
I'm in the north burbs of Dallas.

Unless it has enough windings to function as a 5/8-wave antenna, your reception will suffer.

Same issue here. Need a new antenna. Based on what people say I’ll order this one as well

Looks larger then the CravenSpeed Stubby Antenna that was all the rage here at FRF a few years ago (there is a installation video here at FRF for those who may not know how to install it) so it may get better reception. I only use AM for my right-wing hate talk-radio shows and the Stubby works OK. Both cost the same...

I went with this one:

21" tall, looks just like factory but shorter and doesnt smack garages. Good reception as well.

After getting annoyed with the stock antenna smacking into the garage door, I got the CravenSpeed Stubby Antenna (only mod on the truck thus far) and it works just fine, IMO.

Sniped my stock one and put on a thin rubber vacuum cap at the end looks great and works great almost free

I wish they would have incorporated it into the windshield, oh well.

What about the 17” all terrain one?

I have been using a Cravenspeed .50cal antennae for a couple years and have no issues with reception. Plus it looks badass
