The FS99 Firestik Fire Up is 5',0" compared to the Antron's 5',9". The FS99 has two 19 gauge spiral wound wires going up it's length to supposedly fool the antenna into being electrically longer. You can't put a regular Firestik on it because the top section is tuned for 32.700 MHz. That being coupled with the rest of the A99 causes it to tune at 27.185 MHz. I've already ordered one and is on the way to me now. I just hope that it's not a Chinese knockoff but rather a NOS/NIB genuine made in the USA Firestik FS99.
