I live in south eastern Massachusetts, so there are quite a few strong signals. I use a Tune Trapper and it works well in the area. I installed it with a Y-adapter and have it connected to the stock cable too so if I travel I can attach the whip for better reception.

I got a power antenna from Advance Auto ($22) and mounted it on the inside of my fairing - real easy to connect power. The reception is slightly better than the stock one and MUCH better looking.

Can you tell me how you connected power?

Thanks

For those of you that installed a hidden power antenna

Where did you connect the power into, and did you ground the grounding wire or just leave it hanging?
Thanks
