No Audio Antenna
Question, I have an 07 Nismo King cab...does it come with a stubby antenna? I was always wondering because I don't have an antenna, just a little stub by the right window...and my radio reception sucks ***.

I was impressed with the stock '07 KC Audio system.
And
Yes you need an antenna for AM/FM.
Seems Nissan's engineers did a few calculations.
The stock AM/FM antenna screws into the base and is about 30 inches in height.
That means the 50 ohm "Half Wave Diapole" antenna is tuned to the FM Band.
A quater of the radio wave is picked-up by the stick, ... and the other quater part of the wave is picked up by the truck's body. AM does not really need a tuned antenna.
Rubber Duck antennas are Quater Wave or even Eighth Wave and do not have the reception (micro volts) sensitivity as the 30", but are OK in an urban enviroment where the radio waves are strong.

So
shanny55, screw in an antenna.
