Antenna modification is in order.
My antenna keeps swiping the underground parking garage door on the way out and also on the way in. Is there a shorter version for a replacement that would not compromise signal strength?
I've looked on ebay, nothing really except for them ugly stubbies.

Re: Antenna modification is in order.
it's just that when I hear it hit, it hurts me inside. You have to understand the connection between man and machine. :-(

Re: Antenna modification is in order.
Put a Z in the stock antenna to shorten it up

Re: Antenna modification is in order.
i pulled mine out of its base, cut it short enough to clear the garage door and then brazed it back into the base. works great
