Stubby Antenna - Can someone please post a pic

SilverTT · Sun, Mar-29-2009, 03:10:11 PM

I just heard about this stubby antenna but haven't seen a pic. Can someone post a few pics of a stubby on an M3 Vert?

Also where is best place to buy one? Have been looking for a used one too so if anyone knows of one for sale please let me know. Any drawbacks over the stock antenna on the verts?

Thanks, Dan

I got mine from EAS.

On my car

There is no difference in quality unless you get the super tiny one.

Also makes your car not look like an RC car anymore

Go with the rubberized version, this is a perfect match for your stock base.

BlackOut rubberized antenna mast

127mm will retain antenna strength as if it were OEM.

Thanks Tom.

Just tried to call you but I think you were on the other line. Will try you again in a few hours.

Mondays can be pretty busy here catching up from the weekend. If you cannot reach me by phone - leave a message and I'll get back to you right away.

Will do Tom.

Question, if my main purpose for buying the stubby is so I don't have to remove/replace everytime I put on the car cover, would the shorter one be the better option? I currently don't plan to use the terrestrial radio at all really so would be just fine with losing some signal quality. How about just a small blag stub to screw onto the antenna base?

Seems even the shortest one might pose a minor issue with the car cover? Its a fitted M3 specific cover from California Car Cover.

I can't imagine the shortest antenna causing trouble for your cover. I have a 2.6" stubby antenna, and I would think the car cover could fit over it without a problem.

Sure, the smaller one would be fine in this case.
