If so, do you like it?

Would you buy it again?

We tried both antennas, Not much difference between the two except length.  Both Terry and I bought the 8 inch and it increased our range quite abit from the stock antenna.  We took two receivers and put two collars on a fence post, one collar had a stock antenna and the other had a tuff skin antenna both were dc 30s and the stock antenna for the receiver was about 3/4 mile and then I put the 8 inch on my receiver and Terry had the 14 inch we went two miles and could still get the collars the tuff skin antenna did not loose reception as much as the stock antenna.  Now this was just driving down the road.  In the woods it still gets better reception than stock and so do the tuff skins for the collars. In fact we have changes out most of ours antenna too.

Hope this helps

Thanks a bunch. That does help. I may wait to see what the flexible folding antenna will look like.
