martinmac Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Had to get a stubby, cant take the grief when anyone sees the OEM. Quote
MAB Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 +1 Depends where you are though.... My reception isnt the best where I live with the stock "pole" of an aerial, so I think a stubby would be out of the question. Tis weired I get good reception in Basingstoke Quote
max Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I changed to a stubby when i first bought my zed 18 months ago but changed it back a couple of months ago but found no difference so have put the stubby back on. max. Quote
Chris`I Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 +1 Depends where you are though.... My reception isnt the best where I live with the stock "pole" of an aerial, so I think a stubby would be out of the question. Tis weired I get good reception in Basingstoke I have a feeling my carpc or psu for said carpc is interfering with it. But as per usual I'm too lazy to investigate. The Leon was fine for reception, so I think its specific to my Zed and not Blasingsmoke. I'm going to investigate it when I rip out the glovebox to sound deaden it all. Hopefully this weekend if the weather holds. Quote
Pingu2 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 my radio reception is crap now with stubby and car PC - will be moving the radio functions to the car PC very soon so I will sort it out then! Quote
350Satch Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Cheers fellas. Now which one is best or are they all much of a muchness? Quote
H5 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Do you guys really feel that having a stubby aerial improves the look of the car a) at all, enough to have poorer reception on the radio? Quote
lomoto Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Do you guys really feel that having a stubby aerial improves the look of the car a) at all, enough to have poorer reception on the radio? no hate the stubby look and like proper reception Quote
rmmackfc Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Do you guys really feel that having a stubby aerial improves the look of the car a) at all, enough to have poorer reception on the radio? Prefer the looks of a stubby... it ain't the 80s now Quote
H5 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Funny, I can't see the aerial has any impact on the car's look at all. Agree, we're not in the 80's, we're in the Noughties. And by rights surely it should be Volvo / Merc esq with it in the rear window filament or something if modernisation is the game. Funny what sticks out to different people. Quote
Jacko Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Have to admit that I've not noticed any deterioration in radio signals since changing to a stubby! Mind you, it is a quality item..... Quote

Trev-the-Rev Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Have to admit that I've not noticed any deterioration in radio signals since changing to a stubby! +1 Quote
Ian Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Have to admit that I've not noticed any deterioration in radio signals since changing to a stubby! +1 Same here, although I have only used the radio once since fitting it Quote
Mathys Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I have a stubby for over a year now, still perfect reception. I listen to the radio everyday as the Bose sucks for playing CD's... Quote
nixy Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Do you guys really feel that having a stubby aerial improves the look of the car a) at all, enough to have poorer reception on the radio? no hate the stubby look and like proper reception I also think the stubby looks horrible - just too chunky looking. I wonder how many people have changed it just because everyone's doing it..........Baaa Quote
