Update:
I got fed up with the low range of the Black Widows antenna so I did an experiment:
My baby has two antennas one on the windshield and the power antenna that my radio is hooked up to.
I was cleaning up the wires underneath the dash and saw the windshield antena just hanging there. I pulled it through the fire wall and spliced it to the Black Widow's antena.
Not expecting much but SUCCESS!
I now have a 30-40 yard radius range. Very Happy and no need to buy an external booster. So if you guys have both antenna's connect it and it will increase your range.
