It comes with a small magnetic antenna.
true, but that mini mag antenna is very weak. In a remote marginal area, you get much better results by replacing it with a full size trucker antenna or one of the stronger cylindrical antennas, like the BoatAnt or similar.
The small 4" antenna is mostly signal neutral. Other antennas have better gain on some frequencies while hurting other frequencies. It's important to know what frequency your phone operates in your town before upgrading the antenna. Otherwise you might be disappointed.
