Default RE: Internal antenna??

I just bought one at Audio Express (they installed my stereo for me). It was something like $40. It sticks to the top of the head unit, and has two long antennae sticking about a foot in either direction (clears all the wires). It works pretty well, but I rarely listen to the radio anyways.

[/align] I have the HD one. It works ok going toward the station or really strong station. Weather seems to effect it more than an antennae.[/align]

I have compared a Tune Trapper, Dakota Digital powered, and a factory whip side by side on the same bike and I found that the Tune Trapper and the Dakota Digital are very near the same in performance, which is acceptable, but not up to factory standards. My wife has a powered antenna that is normally used in boats, and it has about the same reception as the Tune Trapper and Dakota Digital.
