I haven't notice a difference with the stubby antenna. One thing for sure it looks better than the stock one

The one good thing about this radio, is its reception. I live just outside a metropolitan area and have had no problems AM or FM.

I live near Cameron NC and receive channels from Raleigh, Wilmington and even one weather channel from Myrtle Beach, SC. Easy setup, had mine for about 2 years now and never had a problem with it. I also mounted my antenna in the upstairs of my garage so it would be out of the weather and works flawlessly! I will be installing one for my sister soon also. Pictures are very good and I probably receive about 30-40 channels including a couple Spanish channels as well.

I'm curious, did you end up buying the antenna and setting it up? I live in central MA and because of the snow havent set this up yet, I was curious how your reception is.

Avoid MSN, neat bells and whistles but lousy signal. I've had both MSN and FM traffic, FM traffic not as "cute" but it works because it gets a signal. I live in Seattle, signal reception was almost non-existent for MSN, except around the Microsoft campus where it was very strong - probably a conincidence?

The reception is better than average. The separation between stations will depend on your area. The tuning is a little tricky due to the dial only having only one complete rotation.The sound protection and radio quality is very good especially when I'm mowing.

Yes, as far as I can tell. I researched it heavily and it all seems to be right. In my research I discovered earlier models had trouble with reception quality, I believe I have the earlier model.

I drove from Fort Lauderdale, Florida all the way to Wyoming in the Northwest and had cell reception everywhere. My husband had more expensive phone with Boost and couldn't get reception in the Dakotas or Wyoming. I recommend this phone.

So far, my reception has been pretty good. There are times that it is a problem from more distant stations, but for the stations I listen to, the reception has been very good.

It is measured in meter-bands . Mine has 60m, 49m, 41m, 31m, 25m, 21m, 19m, 16m, 15m, 11m . The reception condition changes depending on your location and also time of day and night.

I found the FM reception to be above average and, that is with a cell tower close by. I did get my radio fixed within 10 working days and was given free shipping...so very good customer service.

Sorry Meghan I don't have an answer. I haven't used the carrier yet. I am flying on Southwest from New Jersey to PHX in November so I would be very grateful if you reported your experience after your flight. I will report on my flight in November.
