Default Auto Antenna

I blame the window antenna. Would I be better off with a whip antenna?

Although I'm not suggesting you cut holes in your new Lexus, when
windshield antennas first came out in the 70's, I made a good bit of
money replacing them with whips. They may have improved since, but back
then, there was always a significant improvement in reception.

Comments in the thread about checking the existing antenna is
well-advised, however.
