Details
The antenna's frequency is altered in order to maintain a desirable center band position when used with the tuned coaxial feedline. Accordingly, this type of antenna may only be used with the Firestik NGP cable. The chrome-plated machine brass mounting base has standard 3/8"-24 threads. A high-efficiency, voltage-increasing helical wind is also utilized. Heavy insulated copper wire is used to guard against shorted coils and corrosion-induced resistance, which is commonly found on other brands of antennas.

Choosing Antenna Length
The longer your antenna, the better your CB system will perform. So we recommend using the longest antenna you possibly can! That being said, 4' antennas are the most popular choice of pickup truck and off-road vehicle owners, while 5' antennas are more often found on larger trucks and semis.
Here are the approximate ranges you'll get with different length fiberglass antennas.
- 2' Long - 2 to 3 miles
- 3' Long - 3 to 4 miles
- 4' Long - 4 to 6 miles
Choosing Antenna Color
This is a 100% personal decision! Choose your favorite color, or what goes best with your vehicle.
