"Fully retractable" is very important in the woods and in the car wash.  Mine
was bent by a branch and killed by a car wash (of course, it wouldn't retract
once it was bent.)  I replaced the broken section with a bolt-on spring
setup.  Now, the branches will whip around the antenna, but it won't break.  Also,
it's fun going through a parking garage with the antenna pinging off every
pipe and joist.
