Sorry Guys, My FM reception with tune trapper is fine, not sure what the problem might be, I don't think its geographic Twolane is in Mo and im in Mi and we both have had decent results.

Sounds like you got lucky. Mines about as good as having the antenna unplugged. Going in the garbage like the other hidden antenna I bought lol.

I installed the HD hidden on Ginger a few months ago as I figured for $60 bucks, it was worth trying.  As I installed it, I made it easy to switch back (didn't cut any wires).  Rode with it for about 100 miles and went back to the "normal" antenna.  My regular/stock whip pulls in stations that are fringe for me out in the country.  The hidden wouldn't even pull these in when I was in the middle of town close to the stations.  Not a waste of money as I did want to try it but glad I didn't pay more.  I still have it under the faring, just disconnected the power supply and plugged my whip in again.

I would contact the Co they are supposed to be tuned for FM I and a number of others have had good luck with them you may have received a defective one.

It's OK. I'm done with hidden antennas. I would settle for some good riding weather.

Everyone who has had good or bad results should keep several things in mind.  First, a hidden antenna will NEVER be able to reproduce the -db gain of an  whip antenna without some type of built in amplifier or antenna booster.  Secondly, the amp will also amplify noise equally well.  Also keep in mind that even though you live in "XXXX" city and listen to their FM station, the actual antenna may be miles away from your location.  My local Corpus Christi radio station's control center is less than 6 miles away from my house.  The antenna from which they broadcast is over 30 miles away from my house.  So when I use my Antenna Specialists hidden antenna at my home, I get bad reception.  When I am 30 miles away in a town called Sinton, Tx, the signal is rock solid.  Not because it works well, but because I am less than a mile from the actual 100,000 watt transmitter.

Every hidden antenna will be a compromise.  It's just up to us to decide what we WANT to compromise........Looks or Signal.
