I got the exact same one, use this for show as the reception is utter crap mate. The reception on he aerial is so ****e that it can't even pick up the FM transmitter for the iPod which must be 2 foot away from it.

If you want it for show let me know and you can have the one I got for £5 instead of the £10 LMF charge.

I have a 10cm raceX one from speedng.co.uk and the reception is alright on that one bar local stations which cut out every now and then. Ain't tried a proper richbrook bee-sting so god knows how the reception is on them.

That 5.5cm is for show only I would say. I had it on my car 13 minutes and took it off as it didn't work with the iPod transmitter.

10cm Viper one. Reception is alright but not the best. Let me know how you get on with a proper beesting :)
