I should have replied sooner but I've been busy with work and doing other repairs on the car...anyways, my antenna is not retractable, all 38ft of my antenna is solid and doesn't go up or down. Now, I've been told by other people that yes, the S2K antenna is a good choice, I'm just worried that it won't fit. Now here's the other small dilemma, I found two other antennas online, both are 5 and 1/2 inches and one comes with a 58 inch lead and the other doesn't. Any suggestions or any pictures would be really appreciated.:bigthumbu
