vinnieg Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I have a Lincoln MKX and the antenna isn't as strong as other vehicles. Stations especially AM are not coming in as clear. Has anyone had this problem? Any advice on where to get a stronger one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) FWIW, I got a GREAT stubby antenna (you can search here on the forums for the full details if you wish) from these guys at Mango Walk - they have all kinds of antennas of all kinds of sizes and styles.. might chek them out. My stubby was no signal loss for me.. but I live in an area with lots of and strong signals.. Edited April 28, 2008 by Lex Talionis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbyz95 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Thanks to Lex, I picked up the stubby antenna as well. Works and looks great ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 gotta love those stubby antennas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bri719 Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) I don't get it.. when I click on their link they're all "dummy" antennas it seems like. I'm interested in a stubby, I want to know how easy they are to install? Edit: oh, oh I think I get it. so you guys just installed the stubby on the factory base right? so I guess that is the way to go. I'll definitely have to pick out the one I like best and go that route. it beats the long factory one with the wire wrapped around it Edited May 9, 2008 by bri719 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bri719 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 today I decided (on my own.. ha) to order the stubby antenna. despite my forgetfulness I managed to remember to measure the stock one before posting and it's 11", or as Lex you said on the other thread 11.5".. much longer than I realized. so I want one just over half to make sure I still get excellent reception which I guess would be in the 6" range - give or take an inch. thanks for the link to that other thread... I just stumbled across it a minute ago while using the Search box feature. those are the same guys I was planning to order from based on your earlier recommendation here, so glad to hear your experience was good! I'll let you know how it turns out when I get mine and install it (I like that it's literally a 20 second job) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
