The mods that "don't work" are passive modifications to help reception.
The length of the antenna directly affects the performace of the receiver, as well as how straight it is, and what it's made of.

Cat antennas arent super-duper better, but they are better, and they do work.

Solid core wire is better electrically than the stranded core wire used in the stock vehicles.
Because the addition of a Cat antenna means you have control over how long it is, my guess is that alot of people make it a little longer than stock, which is better right there. The makers are using as little wire as they can get away with, and the cheapest too.

If you get a color you like out if it, so much the better!

Of course pumping more power into your transmitter is going to increase range. So would modding it's antenna!

It's just a brute-force approach as opposed to the finnese of making your receiver work better by understanding the principles involved.

The ultimate solution would be combining both for super ultra range.
