I know about the reverse thread. Funny thing is that I also have a Shakespeare 176-1 marine CB antenna, the Crossbow's close cousin. The 176-1 has proper threads. So, I have two practically identical antennas but I can't swap or interchange the two key component parts.

My SWRs are just about flat on the Crossbow. I wish it got out a little better, but I can't complain about an antenna that has given me 35 years of reliable service.
