From what I have read the "original" dealer-installed, fender mount antennas stuck out 8" when fully retracted. The reproduction Hirschmann's fully retract. Anyone here have one of these "original" antennas that they'd like to post a pic of? When the dealers were installing the radios/antennas, did they just reach for whatever was available, or did a certain antenna go with a certain radio? I have a Motorola Sapphire, and am curious as to what the proper antenna would be to accompany it.
Heres a pic of my radio. Plan to install it soon. |
