Hustler Truckers CB Antenna

I have nothing but rave reviews for the 42" Hustler SCB. I ran this antenna on my Volvo 630 on a bird perch with outstanding results. Paired with a Cobra 29LTD or a Galaxy 98VHP this antenna shines brightly. While it is rated to handle 1000 watts, I can attest that it does perform up to 400 watts with no problems. The only hiccups I encountered were coax related. The finish has held up remarkably well over 2 1/2 years, not one spot of corrosion. Since I was running it on a Volvo, notoriously bad for grounds, I used a separate ground wire of flat braid wire ran down to the battery box mounting bolts. I use the Hustler SCB on my Dodge Ram as does my father and uncle. I never shy away from this antenna when asked for a recommendation. The SCBS (9" lower post) will pair well with pickup application when mounted on the top rail of metal side windows. Use the SCB (22" lower post) with lower mounting points.

As a college educated technician, I can tell you that Hustler products are in the top 5 rated categories in my opinion. They are number 1 for quality versus price. I have worked in the radios' field since 1973 and these American made antennas will get you on the airways in style. They are easy to tune and give you day after day of quality out signal. Never hesitate to purchase a Hustler if the style suits your needs.

This is a great antenna. It gets the signal out nicely and is well built. This antenna replaced a Radio Shack antenna I had where nobody could ever hear me and began rusting within a week at the antenna base connections. This antenna hasn't shown any rust after weeks of rain here. The top whip is adjustable via a flat bladed screw/thumbturn. It works but I would have preferred if Hustler put a allen wrench screw there instead as they are a bit more easy to tighten.
Overall this is an excellent antenna from Hustler.
