i think the hearing problem is something other than the lil wil , unless its defective or not installed properly/optimally . ive got one as a backup and it hears fairly decent . ive talked about 35 miles on it (with a pair of 1446's helping it . but it did hear the signal . ive also talked skip up and down the east coast and dixie on the lil wil . a 102-108 inch stainless steel whip is gonna be the most effective and most durable option for you . depending on where you mount it on your truck and the places you drive it at the 9 foot antenna could simply be too tall for you to use . a predator 10k is a great antenna , but those snow laden tree limbs hit the shaft or coil it could cause dammage to the antenna or the roof if its hard mounted . those 10k's are TOUGH . i went under a too short drive through and my 10k never noticed it , unfortunately my roof flexed and the antenna god cocked back about 15-20 degrees . so the 10K is stronger than the roof on my 4X4 , LOL .

does a 102-108 sound like something that may work for you ?
