Look good, but a definite loss of reception.

I assume almost 100% loss on AM, but even a significant loss for FM?

I don’t listen to AM, but I’ve used 6-7 different shorty antennas from 4″-15″, and they all had a noticeable loss of FM reception.

No problem. If you live/drive in a major city, then it’s not too bad. Outside of the city, I have to listen to XM.

I’ve never taken the stock one off for a car wash…I always forget about it until I go to scrape ice off the windshield. Ram has to be the last ones to use a big antenna
