Thanks

I just recently sold a set of these. I hated them. I never could find the sweet spot on them and after a year of trying and constant playing with them I finally gave up.

You're in luck, I happen to be an antenna designer. First, ignore the midget. He don't noe squat. You an't put onre in a pillar, LOLz! Hidden= in glass. If it's a DD and you might have future use for GPS, I'd go with a roof mount "puck." Most of these are multi-band and handle cellular, GPS, sat. radio and FM. What do you want to use it for and how close are you to local FM stations? I screwed in a Perrin stubby in place of my stock Evo ant. and was very pleased with the range. In the same hole as stocker, I'd say go with the S-2K stubby. If you're in the sticks, a 31" (1/4 lambda) FM tuned. Do a search, I think I went over this with ludite Bbasso last winter.

Got a link? I have found some for cheap but am unsure of the quality.

Just looking for a hidden Am/Fm radio antenna

Note that; "For best reception, the adhesive-backed antenna body must be unobstructed by metal. It's typically mounted to the top inside of the windshield or on the rear window/package shelf area."

Like I said. Is the new s2k antenna better? The original one is horrible.

I've got it in both cars, but have been tempted to cancel it for the R... but it IS nice to have for road trip to Expo, etc.....

These dipole designs don't need a metal ground plane below them, (like a stick or omni in the center of the roof) but tend to be more directional.

My city is less than 20 miles wide and I live in the city limits. I am not really worried too much about sound quality. If I am listening to the radio it is probably on AM or CD. I really want to get away from the external antenna altogether. I've never been a fan of the S2K version.

Your solution is Justin TImberlake?



Is that a digital tuner or FM modulated? Right now I've got digital tuners that connect right to the head units, so extra crap on the dash.
