    I am currently using the pad antenna that comes with the unit, it does fine until I have a shelf of trees or mountains on the side of the road. Would the foot long rod with the mushroom top work better or is it not worth the extra $$$?
    Thanks for your input

    The first one. It's mounted to a brace on the passenger side mirror. I didn't think it would make that much difference, in fact I got a couple of drivers on here that said they didn't have any trouble with the pad type. I think I will be purchasing something different in the near future.
    Thanks for the input

    eBay has the good ones for $29 with free shipping. That's where I got mine and it works perfect.
