This was what i noticed with my antenna x... But hey its almost 2014 who still uses this radio thing?

Take the stock one off, and cut it down. Then put it back on. Reception is still decent, and it looks great. Free too.

yes, but when I am 60 miles deep in the Rockies from Denver, in a valley with peaks that are 10-14k', still getting a signal, it's better than the rubber after market. Essentially, cutting the stock, barely has an effect, if at all, on fm reception.

who goes 3 years with no radio reception??

I like all the options, USB flash drive full of my favorites, mp3 cd of my current/newer favorites, the Bluetooth connection to my iPhone for the latest music plus podcasts etc and if all that fails satellite radio!

Oh yeah, there is the 4' firestix for communicating on the trail
