Product Description

If you took the proven features and performance of the famous "KW" series antennas and added a unique tuning mechanism to the top, you would own the equivalent of a Firestik II, "FS" Series antenna. Aside from the ease of tuning, the patented design broadens the antennas bandwidth to keep SWR lower over more channels. The upper coil extension also increases the power handling capability of the antenna. All "FS" antennas are compatible with autos, trucks, vans, motorcycles and ATV's in a single antenna configuration when metallic ground plane is available. Or, they may be used in dual (co-phased) configuration on any vehicle made from any type of material. Like all CB antennas, the "FS" antennas should be fine-tuned (SWR) in their final mounting location. If you have ever tuned a non-tunable tip antenna, you will have a real appreciation for the "FS" antennas. To tune a "FS" antenna, you just pop-of the tip and turn the adjustment screw up or down as needed. All "FS" antennas exceed the requirements of any CB radio, new or old. Aside from the hi-performance loading coil that maximizes the transmit/receive functions of your CB, these top-loaded antennas will also receive the NOAA emergency weather alert and national weather broadcasts for radios with those features.

The "FS" antennas are 100% American made with 100% American materials. To maintain a balance between flexibility and ruggedness, Firestik uses a custom blended, glass fiber reinforced shaft. Each is wound with heavy insulated copper wire to prevent the oxidation and shorted windings often found on non-Firestik antennas. The tunable tip mechanism is made from rust-proof brass and has a rubber o-ring to hold the adjuster in place after tuning. Our 3/8"-24 threaded base has a tapered contact point that works especially well with Firestik mounts and accessories. The tapered "lug-nut" effect transfers stress away from the threads and reduces the possibility of vibration induced loosening of the antenna in its mount. Each antenna is covered with a static reducing, water-tight sleeve containing UV and pigment stabilizers. For peek performance we recommend that you use one of our 18-foot Fire-Flex coaxial cables with these antennas.

ALL antennas, regardless of style or manufacturer, MUST be tuned after installation on the vehicle. Transmitting antennas are not "plug-n-play" devices.

I have had the Firestik FS antenna for a week now and love it. I use it for long road trips, hunting and camping trips. I was amazed on how far I can get with this antenna. My old one, I would only get 3 to 5 miles and now I get 10 to 20 miles depending on where I am at. This is by far the best antenna I've had in my 15 years of having a CB. I have already ordered one for my wheeler and my girl's truck. GREAT BUY 5 STARS ALL THE WAY. The only problem I have with it is nothing. I highly recommend this antenna to everyone who wants a great antenna and there is very little adjusting that needs to be done. With the wet season coming we will really put it to the test and I will be keeping Right Channel Radios updated on this product.

Have had the antenna for a few months now and am very impressed. I have the 5 foot model mounted on a fender mount for a Chevy pickup. I initially used it with a spring but none of the springs I found will keep it upright on the highway (main use) so I now have a fold over adapter that is great for driving in low clearance areas. I tested the SWR with the spring and found it was much too long, took the spring out and it just happened to be perfectly tuned. I have 1.2:1 on channels 40 and 1 and about 1.1:1 on 19. Will receive/transmit almost 10 miles in the right conditions. Overall, I am very satisfied, the only negative aspect is the wind resistance and weight of the antenna. Can't speak for the ease of tuning as I didn't have to change it.

The Firestik FS3 that I purchased is installed on a Ford Windstar van with a Cobra 29WX 40 channel CB.Installation is easy and the on-line resources supplied by Right Channel Radios are excellent. Antenna tuning is easy with this product. I purchased this model due to its ability to pick up the NOAH Weather channels. Firestik is a quality product that is MADE IN THE USA with USA components.

Right Channel Radios is a A+A+A+ quality vendor with excellent customer support and exceeded my expectations completely. Highly recommend this company as a "GO TO" supplier for all of your CB Radio needs.
