Additional Information

If you're more keen on getting maximum transmit range, we recommend using a traditional fiberglass antenna, such as the Firestik FS or Wilson Silver Load, with a spring instead. |

| Compatible with: | All CB studs and mounts that use the industry-standard 3/8" x 24 thread. |
| Antenna Length(s) | 3', 4' |
| Antenna Color(s) | Black |
| Approximate Range: | Range(s) are provided for comparison purposes only and are subject to numerous installation and environmental variables. For more detailed information, please see our reference article on CB Antenna Range Approximation.

Details
The Wilson Flex is extremely similar to the FGT series, with the added benefit of antenna flexibility. It's designed specifically for the CB user needing an antenna that can handle rigorous vibrations from a truck, rugged use and extreme changes in weather, and still perform well. The Wilson Flex has an exclusive impedance-matching transformer to give good SWR without sacrificing power gain. The Flex series includes a tunable tip, making antenna tuning as simple as twisting a knob. Wilson uses 22-gauge silver-plated wire to reduce resistive losses and increase performance. And if the Flex doesn't outperform your current similar antenna, Wilson will refund your money! (Please see manufacturer's website for full details.)

Great for Offroading, easy to tune
Review by Eric -
I purchased the jeep and off road package that came with this antenna. The antenna tuned really nice and it is a great antenna for off-roading due to its flexibility. This is a great antenna.Overall Rating

Review by David Savidge -
I purchased the 4’ Wilson Flex for a 06 TJ Jeep Wrangler. I use a driver side behind the Tail Light mount.Overall Rating
SWR were so low after the install I almost did not even waste my time tuning it.
However, I did and it’s a walking, talking, son of a gun now buddy!
It is a great antenna. I would recommend and purchase again.

Good Product, Great Company!
Review by Harda A. Callicutt -
I recently purchased a replacement antenna for my GMC 3500 Sierra Pick up mounted Citizens Band radio. It is a replacement because the antenna being replaced (a fiberglass antenna) would not stand up to the rigors of a drive-through vehicle wash. I knew this, but my grandson, who drove the truck through a local carwash that could handle a "dually" didn't realize that the antenna would suffer in the deal.Overall Rating
Right Channel supplied me with a 4ft., 200 watt Flex antenna Model #FLEX-4 BK. The antenna was delivered just as promised and amazingly, it had been packed for shipment in such a manner that it made the trip from Montana to North Carolina without UPS being able to damage it at all. (Terrific packaging)
When installed, the antenna performed admirably. We tuned the standing wave for optimum transmission and reception and it works wonderfully. I'm not familiar enough with CB antennas to give the unit a fair evaluation, but for me, I don't know what could be better.
I'm just one of those "country boys" from North Carolina who enjoys his truck and all the accessories that go with it. When it works well, I'm a happy man and when it doesn't work as I expect, I set about to fix it or get it fixed.
In this case, the new antenna solved my problem; the antenna looks like it belongs on the back bumper, so I go merrily along my way.
Of course, when including the shipping charges, the total cost was a bit much, but I learned years ago that you usually get what you pay for, especially when a supplier such as Right Channel Radios is in the picture.
Thank you for your assistance.

I recommend Firestik
Review by mike soule -
I do not recommend this antenna for Jeep Wranglers, it has very high SWR readings. Switch to FireStik, works 10 times better.Overall Rating
