What's everyone doing with their antenna?

What app/apps do you use to pull your radio?

Google Podcast, FreeMP (MP3 player), there is nothing broadcast worth listening to since the early 00s.

I use TuneIn Radio. There are many good ones.

So I bought a Cravenspeed Stubby for my F150, so I wouldn’t have to take it off to go through the car wash. Well, I couldn’t get AM reception at all (I like to listen to sports radio sometimes), and on FM, a couple of stations were sketchy (and yes, I still listen to radio. Sue me). I was about to return it, but I thought I’d try it on the Bronco. Turns out, it works fine. Go figure. So I’ll just keep it, but I still need something for my truck.

I purchased the Craven Speed Bullet stubby. I have not installed it but I have high hopes based on the cool look. The guys at Craven Speed seems responsive and hopefully will stand behind their products.

Here it is alongside the original antenna ....

Hello fellow Bronco6G members! Wanted to get a few opinions, what is everyone doing with their antenna? I removed mine because it hits the garage when I park, but mainly I'm wondering if leaving it off could cause damage (water from rain sitting int he antenna hole), or if I should just get a shorter aftermarket one.

I got this one coming in. I hope it picks up AM better than the stock antenna!

Let the 1% of us who listen to AM know how this one works!!!

The radio reception is ass anyways. I’m sure a cheap stubby antenna would work better than the wet noodle they give you stock

Both FM/AM work great in flat areas, but not in the hills or mountains. AM is worth the switch alone, since hills don't effect AM as much. I listen to mostly online anyway.

I went with this since I installed pillar lights and the antenna blocked the light a little bit - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PBJLZXY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1
Wasn't worried about radio, use spotify, sirius and amazon music

I'm sure someone else mentioned the CravenSpeed stubby. I actually have the Bullet one and love it. Fit was perfect out of the box. The install took literally 1 minute.

Reception is great, no less than what it was with the stupid huge whip. I work 40+ miles from Milwaukee and get great reception for stations there, AM and FM. I'm sure if you're in a mountainous area or further out from a city, you may have different results.

Made in USA, unlike most Amazon stuff.

I plan on using mine for the radio…

you’ll never see one of those ridiculous shorties or down right dangerous bullet shape up ones on my rig, I'm not 12 years old! lol

So, I got this version of that same brand;
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09L4VFDCH/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&th=1

And none of the included threads fit on my car. Will be returning this week. Not sure why Amazon's vehicle database showed that it would fit but that was not true.

Fingers crossed for you. I also got no kind of seller support when I reached out for assistance so I'm skipping trying another version from the brand I originally ordered. I see a lot of people really like CravenSpeed so I may consider them next as well. Please let us know how it goes for you with the Stubby.
