Short Antenna

I have a car.
I dont listen to the radio, I have it connected to my Ipod.
So I was wondering if there was a short (12"-25") cb antenna that could screw into the stock antenna mount.

Can I just take the stock radio antenna out and screw in the CB antenna?

Radio Shack use to sell a combination CB/FM antenna. Check there or EBAY.

So we all heard about it, the antenna issue in the Iphone 4. Here is a little bit of a showing of what#39;s happening and a short term fix using ...

No, the other way around. You need a long antenna and a reasonable ground. Impact of ground resistance is not as important if you are only using the antenna system for receiving rather than transmitting.

The radio itself can be made as small as physically possible, but antenna (at least the one you will be using) works in the principal that longer and higher (more space you cover) the better.

also, does the gain control alter the outgoing signal or the reflected signal?

-Horizontal polarization can be used.
-The return signal can be 'blanked' for the first short period to ignore areas close to the radar.
- Successive return signals can be averaged (or ANDed) together so that only targets which were there over several scans are displayed. Clutter tends to be random, so is filtered out in this process leaving the target return clear.

I would expect the gain control to affect the received signal.
A single, powerful pulse is transmitted.
The receiver then starts to receive responses:
Strong returns close to the transmitter would be received first, so receive gain is turned down. Then, as the returns are received from further out, the signal becomes weaker (due to the Tx and Rx signals spreading out from their respective point sources), so gain needs to be higher to receive a clear signal.
The gain signal would be an up-ramp (low gain toward high gain) per receive period in between transmissions.

The newer cell phones don't work in my area. My old one does because it has a short antenna that comes out of the top. I want to purchas a newer phone. Where do you find out what the range is of the antenna in a cell phone.

It depends on the receivers. Nokia is known to have the best receiver. That doesn't mean to only look for a Nokia phone because several other models have the Nokia receiver in them. You might be interested in a item like the one below
