I dont think a 6" antenna would work that well.I chopped my stock antenna down to 22" and it works ok.Wish I had an extra stock one(whip) to compare.
Someone gave me one of those flexible rubber ones and it sucked.

so you say that you run 2 antennas? I'm asking because I've already bought the hidden ant and after reading posts I wish I hadn't. I've got to do something because I'm getting my detach T/P and I know that I don't want to fool with any wires. I've got 2 have my radio and got to have the T/P detachable.
