>>telescoping antenna? Is the range loss significant?
An often asked question. The answer is: Yes.
So far no one has made an aftermarket antenna that even equals the stock
one.
How much reduction? This is more difficult to answer. Generally speaking
it's ~15 to 50%. Depending upon the unit chosen and the installation.
Do you care? Even more difficult to answer. Many opinions on this.
