Re: Does the mast antenna ever go bad? Reception problems.
Id say forget about the glass antenna, when I had it hooked up alone my reception was only marginal. Its meant to be just a backup in case your car is in a bad signal position under a bridge or something like that where the main antenna is blocked. After I fixed the mast to my main and reconnected, my reception was much much better. If you cant get reception with the one you have, and dont want to pay bank for a replacement, id just go with a regular fixed mount.
