Hi there
Quick question for those of you who actually have a short, stubby antenna (as those seen on the MDX and the Civic SI (or SiR in Canada). Do they work well? No static or anything in FM reception? Thanks!

They work pretty well, they are amplified.
The antenna is for a Sat/Nav system and really has nothing to do with the AM/FM stereo system. The Radio antenna is in the back window.

Oh, thanks. I did not know that. But surely, the civic does not have navi or sat? All late model Si (SiR) has this little antenna...

Could be Satellite Radio. They are really small.
The advantage of FM over AM is that FM does not have static....
IOW, static.
To be excruciatingly technical, "static" usually means interference on an AM signal. The FM has hiss because the receiver generates more noise than the atmospheric noise level. A quality preamplifier will help hiss, but only proper antenna grounding and suppression of noise sources will help static.
