Additional Information
| Model / SKU: | K40 |
|---|---|
| Recommended for: | Car, van, SUV and pick-up truck owners who want a performance CB antenna. The twist-to-remove feature makes this antenna a great option for people who often enter low-clearance antennas. The whip and coil can be easily stored away while the coax and mount remain in place. |
| Notable Features: | Strong Transmit/Receive Performance, Versatile Mounting Options, Twist-to-Remove Base |
| Compatible with: | All CB radios. The trunk-lip mount allows the antenna to be mounted to any car with a trunk lip. For permanent roof installations, you'll need to drill a hole in the mounting surface with access from below. For installation with vehicle headliners, the headliner must be removed prior to drilling. The coax cable connects to the antenna at a very low angle, so it's possible to re-install the headliner without noticing the coax or antenna mount post-install. |

Details
This lip-mounted CB antenna from K40 provides a number of attractive features, including twist-off removal of coil and whip, a long 57" steel whip antenna and an extended five-year manufacture's warranty. The antenna can be mounted permanently on the roof (drilling required), OR on the trunk lip for a secure but less permanent installation. Our pictures show a rooftop mount, but trunk-lip installations are easy with the included trunk-lip adapter.

One of the best antennas I've ever used.
Review by Flyboy -
It is very easy to install and it works fine with my radio. The only problem was the length. And since my MKS has a very high rear deck so as my garage door & car wash, it let me know where it was. (Posted on May 7, 2013)Overall Rating

Works Great.
Review by Scott W. -
I recently purchased a Uniden PRO520XL CB radio and K40 antenna. Though they were shipped separately they arrived quickly, packed securely in boxes. Installation took less than half an hour in my Titan truck. Just days later I left on a 3 week tour of Northern California and Oregon with a small group of RVers. Combination worked very well through the trip. At one point, a three-mile distance has received loud and clear. The folks at Right Channel Radios were quick to answer questions and provide easy to use information.Overall Rating

Quality, Well designed antenna

The K40 Antenna has been around for quite a long time and has proven itself to be a very capable and popular antenna. The K40 has a quick disconnect system which lets you easily remove the top section of the antenna with just a turn of the wrist. You can literally remove this section in three seconds and stow the top section with attached whip. This system is super handy if you park in a garage and want a longer antenna but don't want to bang the antenna every time you park.
The receive on the K40 is excellent and compared to other well known antennas such as Wilson 1000 it definitely holds its own. I found the static level was very low (which is partly due to the antenna design and partly because a trunk mount antenna is farther away from the engine and its electrical noise). In all of my vehicle setups I always try to mount for best performance, but keeping an antenna away from the engine area often helps reduce electrical interference and trunk mount antennas are a great way to go. Transmit is also great with the K40. I was able to talk to multiple people in my area without difficulty and everyone said I sounded great and my signal strength was the same as when I use some of my other high end antennas.
The K40 is a quality, well designed antenna, built in the USA and it does what the manufacturer claims it will do - all things I find quite refreshing in this day and age.
