For more information on installing NGP systems, please see these NGP Installation Tips. |

Details
This quality kit provides an ideal solution when a good vehicle chassis ground isn't available. Whether installed on an 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 antennas used in these kits are extremely similar to Firestik's Firefly series, but 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.
The kit uses Firestik's molded M-2 "teardrop" side mount. The black plastic shell has a textured finish to give the installation a professional look. All hardware and coax connections are hidden in the inner wall of the vehicle to maintain visual integrity and prevent weather exposure. The actual mounting surface is approximately 3.125" (79mm) x 1.675" (43mm). Outward protrusion is about 1.875" (48mm). This mount comes with all of the required mounting hardware, rubber gasket, metal reinforcement plate, nylon insulator and ground terminal lug, and can be mounted to surfaces up to 0.28 inches (7mm) thick.
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.

Great website
Review by Castor 927 -
This antenna only took a few days to ship to my house. It tuned really well on the SWR meter. The range isn't the best but I've only tested in the city (about a mile). I found this website very helpful and I'm very happy with everything. (Posted on March 10, 2012)Overall Rating

Works as a base antenna
Review by George -
My order arrived on time and in great shape.Overall Rating
After I read your very helpful installation articles, I successfully installed my Firestik NGP antenna.
I have the antenna mounted on the side of the roof of my house. I have it hooked up to my handheld Cobra CB. It works really well. I can even receive an additional weather channel that I couldn't hear before. I am now checking out your mobile CB's and power supplies so I can set up a base station.
Thank you very much for your help and great service.

Easy to install!
Review by Clarke C -
I would have liked to have been able to get a 2 foot antenna, but I realize the SWR would be a factor. I should have ordered a light duty spring to increase flexibility. I have verified correct SWR. Original suggestion that 1/4 inch threadOverall Rating
exposed was very close. I use channel 19 mostly. It was installed on a R. V. and have not had unit out to test. Great instructions on how to install. Rate at 5 if communications are OK after test.
