GEN 2 Stubby Antenna?

[Khah34]

Hey guys! I just purchased a new 2019 Raptor this week and I was considering swapping out the long flimsy stock antenna with a stubby antenna. Any thoughts on a preferred stubby? Any issues or ones to avoid? Thanks!

The Ronin seems to be a popular option. I use this one from Amazon with no problems.

I have nothing but good things to say about this Ronin one. Easily found on Amazon for $35.

Stubby antennas look way better than the OEM flag pole, but if you listen to FM radio, expect a reception loss.

I got the Rydonair 13" from Amazon for $20. It was a compromise between looks of a short one vs. reception quality.

I got this one from amazon and it works great. I listen to FM daily and never have a problem with reception.

Ronin but go with the .50 cal style. Much more BA. I swapped out a year ago with no noticeable reception lost. Easy install and threadlock to avoid theft.
