Firestik 2' Tunable Tip Fiberglass CB Antenna
Expect Performance
The "FS" antennas are 100% American made with 100% American materials. To maintain a balance between flexibility and ruggedness, we use a custom blended, glass fiber reinforced shaft. Each is wound with heavy insulated copper wire to prevent the oxidation and shorted windings often found on non-Firestik antennas. The tunable tip mechanism is made from rust-proof brass and has a rubber o-ring to hold the adjuster in place after tuning. Our 3/8"-24 threaded base has a tapered contact point that works especially well with Firestik mounts and accessories. The tapered "lug-nut" effect transfers stress away from the threads and reduces the possibility of vibration induced loosening of the antenna in its mount. Each antenna is covered with a static reducing, water-tight sleeve containing UV and pigment stabilizers. For peek performance we recommend that you use one of our 18-foot Fire-Flex coaxial cables with these antennas.
Performance Guarantee
All "FS" series antennas are factory bench tested for resonant frequency and overall quality. And don't forget, ALL antennas, regardless of style or manufacturer, MUST be tuned after installation on the vehicle. Transmitting antennas are not "plug-n-play" devices.
-----------------------------------
What they don't tell you is that it is rated at only 100 watts.
Pretty skinny; being two foot long doesn't give a wide/low SWR across the band either.
Personally, the only fibreglass whips I have are one 5 ft Hustler and two 4 ft Wilson Silver loads.
Height gives might...

The only benefit I see in any helically wound fiberglass antenna is that they are short. After that, I think they are a waste of time and effort, they will never perform like a longer antenna, they can't. Sure, they work, but they are always a compromise in efficiency.

hard to say.i was on the freeway then all of a sudden i lost receive.i thought
my coax came loss or my antenna came of.i checked the mount and only thing
left is the threaded part of the antenna.
