RE: J&M new shorty antennas
Their product works great and is good looking.
One thing to remember is that the shorter the antenna the shorter the reception. If you’re riding in a group and like to use the cb like we do you limit the range as to how far away you can hear them, I’m talking line of site, if you can see them you can hear them, but if you fall behind or get to far ahead out of site, reception is an issue. Others will be able to hear you transmit, but you wont hear them respond.
On the am/fm almost any size works due the output of the stations.

RE: J&M new shorty antennas
Somebody mentioned that these are referred to as "loaded" antenna's, if u look closely there is a wire wrapped around the antenna, which increases the overall length.
Hey, i don't understand any of this, just repeating what i read.
And finally, they look and work great. I'm sure CB isn't the best that is possible, but it's better than having those whip antennas.
Get quite a few lookers, as they think it's the cheap auto store type, that hasn't worked for them before, explain where I bought them and that really work.
