I decided to try removing and cleaning the antenna. Along the way I traced the wire and verified no critters had been snacking on it and that it was making a good connection throughout - well, I lost the chase as it passed through the firewall, but it was good that far, and I took the rest on faith. I removed, cleaned, lightly sanded the rod, brushed the connector points with a stainless brush, added a little conductive sealant on top of the connector, threadlocked the threads and yanked it tight. All great for practice, but it didn't help - AT ALL. No change. At this point, I was pretty sure I had a dud radio - but I thought I'd take the opportunity to tinker.
I noticed (according to my JK's compass) that when running N/S routes reception was better than on E/W routes - so I figured it should have something to do with the antenna position or cable path, causing a blind spot during E/W-W/E travel. It wasn't a BIG difference, but it was a needling concern over 10 years of ownership. I decided that a good course could be to replace the antenna AND cable with a new setup - to see if that helped at all. I ordered this one: [URL="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009CRMABY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Antenna[/URL] and I also got a [URL="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00651CLCS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]rubber ducky[/URL] to replace the whip outside. I first installed the whip, knowing that it wouldn't help (but at the same time knowing I've never trusted a stainless whip as an antenna anyway). It didn't help. Nor did installing the new antenna and cable!!!
Well, not until I monkeyed with the installation some (more than some, but not a lot). with the dash still open, I tried a couple a placements for the antenna - along the rollcage horizontal top supports. down the passenger and the driver side was less than stellar performance, and the cable isn't long enough to reach the center of my unlimited rig. i ended up with the best performance when I put the antenna over the dash inside the plastic cowling along the top of the windshield. I directed the cable through the cowling over the passenger sun visor - and down the inner cowling of the windshield vertical support. From there I entered the dash and used zip ties to route it over the glove compartment and keep it tucked away - then into the center dash compartment from behind the dash. By manipulating it an playing with the routing, I found that crossing the glove compartment straight across, then turning the cable at a 90 degree angle to the front of the compartment, and around the radio installation support frame, behind the radio compartment and into the back of the radio. If you're not careful about that cable path it may cause some issues. I found that it's also important to get the cable connector on the antenna cable clear of the other wires and harnesses in the compartment as well - move the connector up behind the radio in the front portion of the dash for the best performance.
Now the Radio works great - I get all the local stations in full stereo, many distant stations, and even catch some dx when the weather is right. I still notice some deleterious effects when the weather is heavy in my area, but we are mountainous - so it's not unexpected. Overall, I would gauge this as at least a 500% improvement in reception. That's estimated, not based on empirical analysis. I STRONGLY recommend this configuration and the products I have mentioned. I hope you have as much good luck as I did - and enjoy the ride!! (I enjoy it a little more with some great tunes to blare when it's time to go topless!!)
Overall, it was a good buy, and makes the car look much better than having the stock antenna. Definitely an improvement.

Overall, it was a good buy, and makes the car look much better than having the stock antenna. Definitely an improvement.
I love this antenna! Just received it today and couldn't be happier. I have a 2015 JKU. When I first attempted to screw it in, it didn't fit. So, I went through the reviews and saw these directions from Steve on 4/23/16, and it worked flawlessly. I live in a rural area in Texas and after install, I was able tune in FM, AM, and my XM and it sounds great!
Here's the fix for fitting issues on JK & JKU from Steve's Review.
When you first assemble and screw it in, you'll see a huge gap and won't get signal. Here's how you fix that.
1. Unscrew the bottom 2" segment of the AntennaX.
2. Remove the threaded rod that's inside the antenna segment.
3. Screw just the 2 inch segment into your Jeep, you'll see that it now fits properly and is fleshed against the base.
4. Screw the small threaded rod (the one you removed from the long antenna segment) into the top of the base far as it'll go.
5. Screw the antenna onto the threaded rod that is sticking out from the top of the 2 inch segment. (I was able with little effort for it to fit with no seam gap).
And, you're done with a good looking Antenna that works and looks awesome.
What causes it not to fit in JK's was the short cuppler inside the 2 inch segment. Following these instructions from Steve's review with directions worked perfectly with very little effort!
So, if you're having a fitting issue with your JK, Thank Steve for finding and posting the work around. As you can see from the picture I posted, it looks awesome! Way better than the stock antenna. AM, FM and XM came through very clear even here in rural Texas country. Hope this helps! Here are pics of my Jeep with the AntennaX installed following the above directions. Close up and from the front. It looks awesome.
