Stubby Aerial - Any recommendations?
So yeah, any suggestions for stubby aerials welcome!
Im looking to replace the standard aerial on my 350Z with a stubby one, mostly for aesthetic reasons. I dont listen to the radio often but when I do the current one cant pick up some stations clearly. Its not like its local radio stations it struggles with either, Radio 1 is the worst!

if you have it could be that the antenna power hasn't been connected thus giving you bad reception.....
have you got an aftermarket radio in the car ?

Could be that, didn't realise there was an antenna power thought it was just a single cable for the aerial. Pretty sure that cable is connected.
Some stations come through perfectly clear and the right volume, but not others.
Yeah its aftermarket.

The MR2 guys use S2000 aerials when they're after a stubby replacement. They are also amplified.
