We also recommend you get this antenna if you live or work in a building with a metal roof. Why? Because metal roofs can interfere with reception on radios with inferior antennas. With one of these antennas mounted above the structure, its metal roof will likely cease to affect reception. This antenna is also great for any building or structure that has bad reception.
