Firestik FS CB Antenna
[Firestik FS]

Great antenna. I have this with a medium duty spring and a quick disconnect. Range is good out to about 2 to 2.5 miles. I think I might upgrade to the 4-footer to see if the range will improve. Very sturdy, great quality, and the easy tune feature worked great. I would highly recommend this antenna.

Firestik has always made good antennas. This one works great, not a single problem with it. However I think I am going to go with a 4ft one, and replace the 3ft I have now, just to help with my range. Rightchannelradios.com is by far the best online retailer I have dealt with for this type of equipment. Very courteous staff, they ship fast, and are honest in what they say. Also may I add that they are very knowledgeable in what they sell. I will buy from them again and I have recommended all my friends to buy from them. Thanks a lot rightchannelradios.com.

Installed with universal mount off the hood of a '99 Suburban. The tip stands up past the roofline by a good 18 inches. Tuning was super simple with the turn-tip of the antenna. Antenna got a few good wacks in an underground parking garage and came through unscathed before it was actually lowered! Rode nice on the highway at speed with light waving, light to moderate in high wind. Great reception for about 1.5 miles. Adequate reception for about just about 2. Low reception but extremely garbled past that - squelch feature on the radio cut that out.

I bought the 2' version of this antenna. I mounted it next to the hood. For that purpose, it is too short. My range was a mile at best. I ended up getting a 55" Hustler HQ27 from a friend mounted in the same location and my range increase on every channel a lot. Tuning was easy and the customer service of this company is great. I'm sure if I would've mounted it on the roof, my range would have been much better. Mounting such a short antenna next to the hood just didn't work. However, I will say, I do like the mount (Firestik Adjustable Universal Hood Mount).

I bought the 4 foot in black to replace the middle mounted factory antenna on my Honda Goldwing. I wanted to use it on my upcoming interstate trip. I have tested it around town and it recieves and transmits so much further than the stock one. I will wait and add to this after my trip. But, so far, it seems to work much better.

I mounted this antenna on the hood of my '98 Ford Explorer using the Firestik univeral hood mount. Tuning was very easy using the adjustment screw.
