FireStik KW4-B Four foot original FireStik CB antenna (Black) Review

I've had a 4' FireStik KW4-W (the same antenna, only in white) on one of my cars for the past 5+ years and have been very pleased with it.It's a durable antenna that's made in the USA.The antenna is top loaded (coil is at the top) and it has a fiberglass whip.I'm using it with an old, barefoot, Cobra 20 PLUS radio.If you are new to CB radios, don't forget that you'll also need a mount, coax cable, and an SWR meter for tuning the antenna.More information on tuning the antenna is available on the FireStik website (at the bottom of this product's page or under "Tech Help").I'd recommend reading FireStik's "Tech Help" section and taking their advice when shopping for an antenna:"At least two-thirds of the antenna should be above a vehicles roof line for optimum performance."Also, make sure that you purchase a mount suitable for the length of your antenna. For example, if you mount a large fiberglass antenna through the thin sheet metal of a trunk deck, you're asking to damage the trunk deck.(Voice of experience)Similarly, if you use a magnetic mount to hold your antenna, make sure it's strong enough to support it.This antenna adjusts by removing the rubber cap and trimming the antenna down with a pair of diagonal pliers.Be warned that, if you over-trim, you'll be looking at adding a spring or quick disconnect between the antenna and the mount in order to lengthen the antenna again.If you want an antenna that is screw adjusted, take a look at the Firestik II FS series with the tunable tip.Over-all, I believe this is a great antenna.(I've also used the KW2-B & KW5-B in the past on other vehicles with excellent results.)

SWR METER for CB Radio Antennas with 3' Jumper cable Review

I bought this to tune in my new install, the meter was banging the side on all channels indicating a problem, I returned the antenna and got a replacement and had the same problem. Tech support suggested this meter was bad, I spent a little more money and bought a different model from Radio Shack to compare and it was a totally different ball game, I had the antenna tuned in five minutes and have had no problems. I would recommend spending a little more money and saving a whole lot of frustration.

SWR METER to Test CB Radio Antennas - Workman - New Review

The FWD and REV switch was upside down, I noticed it after making silly mistakes by cutting my whip too short. I was trying to cancel my order but seller did not return my e-mails, that is the only reason I removed two star other that that the seller is great. Quick delivery.
