This one is way too long for my liking....

I use an aftermarket one that will compress to flat with the fender.

Is it a power one? If not do you know who makes it?
Thanks!

I'm using a fully automatic/powered antenna. My stock AM radio got a remote signal wire straight from the on/off pot. Can't tell of factory or added ( it looked pretty much factory ) so when I changed to an AM/FM radio, installed same wire at same point and voilà... still worked.

Any fully automatic antenna you try to find will come from China, so won't be too diff one from the other. The only real problem you can get with these is if the bezel coming with it will fill the fender hole. When I got my last antenna ( yes, of course being from China didn't last long really much so I have bought maybe 2 or 3 in 12 years, but... my Charger is/was a real daily driver ) I had to reuse an old bezel and mix some parts from some older antennas bezels.

I've found "Generally" you get what you pay for but sometime you pay a preimium and still get ripped off

Like much in their online store, it is NOT in stock. Your gonna pay more like 189.00.  :scratchchin: Put a plug in the hole and get a hidden one.

I hear ya. I was hoping to stay away from an electric one just out of laziness.
