How good is the reception if the antenna is left inside on the dash?

It will work, but you may loss reception faster. I have mine install right above my driver side door.

Depending on location you are driving, around city it will pick up good but going farther out or under bridges it will be cutting in and out. I would not recommend it. If you want little better reception stick it on a top corner of a windshield. It worked for me.

I never tried so I dont know. I would assume not that well because depending on the direction you are traveling, it may impede the signal. It was really easy to run and hide the wire during installation though

It is just fine. I have mine set up that way and I the reception is always good.

I've had decent luck with this antenna indoors. It's a bit unsightly, but it's handy to be able to point this directional antenna as needed; however I did finally put it in the attic and got much better results. I also replaced this single grid antenna with the double grid version and got noticeably better results.

I only use mine at home and around town and have good reception. Have not traveled very far with it yet.

Well, not sure but it depends on how much space you have behind the stereo inside the dash

well, I do not use mine in such a location, but, I do work in just such a building. The radio i use there is of better quality like this one, but to get better reception we attached a single strand of bell wire to the antenna and ran it up past the ceiling tile and poked about two feet out through the hole the phone wire comes in and just let it hang outside. not a real good antenna, but signal was boosted enough to give us clear tuning. This radio would be a good choice to use in this way.

The signal fills an average room. Don't expect any signal outside of the room the indoor antenna I'd in.

I have the screen mounted on my dash on my 3/4 ton Dodge in the drivers corner. It is a little large, however you get used to it. I have had the smaller screen units, but I now prefer the larger screen. The only negative is that at night, the screen reflects in the windshield. It really needs a hood for night driving. Other than that, I think it would work very well for your husbands truck or dump truck. One word of caution, stay away from the wireless units. I have owned several of them and while they are initially good, they seem to have reception problems over time. Definitely stick to the wired units, like this one.

It's reception is pretty sensitive to location and weather. I've only used it inside a house but I have to move the antenna each day to get the best reception so I have my doubts about how it would react if you're moving. I did not have any trouble when I brought it to a restaurant. Good luck!

Well, it's a cool looking antenna, but with most people mentioning weak reception I'm having second thoughts. Although I mostly listen to Sirius...I have a 2014 JK...any comments?

I would have to look at mine.. but I dont even have mine mounted.. I have it under my console and get good reception that way.

Yeah. So far it has been a great receiver. Antenna is very short and out of the way. Car runs great with it.

The TV must be kept in a steady position for good reception. It will not operate in a moving car, but will work well in a stationary car.

It depends on you radio and mounting location. Sometimes the shorter antenna is the better option when driving offroad.

Yes, it comes with a small GPS receiver which sticks on your dash. Routing the cable might be difficult in some vehicles. I put mine in the far left corner of my windshield. It works, but a built in antenna would look better.

I had to pull the radio out of my dash since the antenna cable plugs into the female antenna socket in the back of the radio. Some radios have a cable coming out the back of the radio with a female plug on the end to connect to your antenna lead. If that is the case, you may be able to reach behind the dash on the passenger side to access it. Good luck - it is worth doing either way.

I am getting excellent reception now in my car where I didn't have any. I have not had a dropped call on the road since I installed the antenna. I think it would be worth a try at work only if you could hook up to an outside antenna. You would also have to get a 12v adapter
