Product Description


This kit provides an ideal solution when a quality CB antenna installation is needed where a good vehicle chassis ground isn't available. Whether it be on a RV, trailer, motorhome or boat, this kit will provide superior CB performance in a no-ground environment. All kit components are high-quality parts manufactured by Firestik.

The antenna included in these kits are extremely similar to Firestik's Firefly series, but are specially modified for NGP applications. They include a tunable tip, which makes adjusting for peak performance and minimal SWR as simple as turning a screw on top of the antenna.

This kit uses Firestik's popular 3-Way CB antenna mounting bracket. This extremely versatile mount can be used to mount the antenna to vertical or horizontal mirror arms as well as other bars. If the back of the mount is removed, it also functions as an "L mount" and can be mounted to any vertical surface. The mount is extremely well built and made of rust resistant stainless steel. The kit also includes a stainless steel antenna spring which protects both mount and antenna in the event the antenna hits an object or becomes snagged.

The 17' coaxial cable used in these kits is of the highest quality. The NGP cable assembly that comes with this kit utilizes a custom manufactured coaxial cable available only through Firestik. This NGP cable can only be directly attached to Firestik NGP antennas. If a longer cable length is required, the user may add standard RG-58 A/U cable between the radio and NGP cable, preferably in lengths that are multiples of nine feet. Because it is a tuned circuit, the length cannot be reduced without causing non-repairable damage.

If you purchase this kit, please make sure to read these important NGP installation instructions.

Product: 4' FireStik No Ground Plane CB antenna (FG4-648)

We have lived full-time on the road in our diesel motorcoach for nearly 13 years and routinely monitor and use channel 19, especially for obtaining road reports, traffic alerts and other pertinent information from truckers. In other words, for us CB communication is not a "toy", rather, it's an essential safety feature. The original (Midland) CB radio in our coach recently failed so we purchased a new radio and antenna from a Utah truckstop. We didn't even think of it at the time (and neither did they) but since our rig is mostly fiberglass the standard "ground plane required" antenna they sold us was worthless. After sleuthing the problem on our own we set about finding a "no ground plane CB antenna " (NGP) model.

When we "googled" that term numerous web sites came up and after carefully checking several we chose Right Channel Radios because of their clear and precise product explanation(s), user friendly review and ordering instructions. The on-line ordering and payment process was easy and a few days later the antenna arrived at our campground as promised via UPS Ground.

The FireStix explanation and installation instructions were "okay" but not nearly so much so that we understood all we needed to so we took advantage of Right Channel's offer to access and download their much more detailed information pertaining to NGP CB antennas which we carefully read through a couple of times. Following those instructions we were able to install, tune (the very most important part!) and use the antenna with our new CB radio. All has been fine from that point on as we're back on the airwaves and are happy campers indeed.

Product Rating: FireStix NGP Antenna = 5, FireStix instructions = 3, Right Channel's service and instructions = 5++

I'm very pleased with the improved reception on my CB radio now that I have this Firestik NGP antenna on it. It's picking up what I estimate to be double what the old one did. I was also delighted to see the SWR drop from 3 to infinity on all channels (which rendered my CB unusable for safe transmission) to a next to ideal 2:1, 1:1 and 2:1 on 40, 20 and 1, because of the good ground plane the Firestik NGP antenna artificially generates. I'm actually using it as an indoor base antenna, which I thought was going to be virtually impossible with any regular vertical antenna because of a lack of space for standard counterpoises' ground planes in my crowded apartment. Great product.

This antenna is fantastic. The instant I turned my radio on after hooking it up, I was hearing people talk that minutes before on my old antenna, I wasn't hearing at all. If you have poor reception or transmission on your radio, this is the antenna you need in order to improve it. Tuning is also a breeze. Just turn the tip and your done. I got my order very quickly and everything worked perfectly. I recommend Right Channel Radios to anyone that needs anything for their CB radio.
