Fiberglass CB Antennas

In this Video we discuss the three types of fiberglass CB antennas and which one is the best and in what order.

Francis triple quarter wave antennas are great IF you can find a Francis hotrod 5.5 or the larger 8ft cb50 amazer both are great factory pre-tuned antennas made in the USA.

how does increasing coil losses result in increased gain?

[@trahron]

What do you consider the best cb antenna for a class a motor home, fiberglass body? Thanks

[@kramerswillys6528]

so I bought a KW4-B from firestik. my question is how do I make adjustments to the antenna? it doesn't have the adjustment screw in the tip.

Can I use aluminum wire to make a 4ft fiberglass antenna? Thank you

What antenna would you recommend for a Uni-body type vehicle that has no frame? Im currently using a 40" (I think) steel whip with a bottom loaded coil with a 4 inch spring and a magnet mount. I connected a wire to the antenna to the body as a ground. little to no swr, but I get a lot of engine feedback.

I have a WIlson 1000 antenna on my jeep wrangler's rear gate. I run a amp and RG8 coax. Any thoughts? Could I do better? Thanks for any incite or advice.

what is the swr at channel 1 and 40?

[@stephanieshaw9867]

Clay, I checked out your website and I see there is a SS194 mount and another one that is SS194A. I understand that they are both made from stainless steel, but what is the difference? I have a 2009 Dodge 3500 4x4. Thanks

[@claythompson6958]

Stephanie the difference is the stud mount. The SS194 has a stud mount that requires terminals on the end of the coax cable. The SS194A has a stud mount that requires a screw on connector on the end of the coax cable. Best Regards, Clay

If I wanted to install a quad wrap antenna on a dodge truck, where should I look and what should I ask for?

[@estes426]

get a wilson 1000 or 5000 put the base on top just back from the 3rd brake light and your done...

[@claythompson6958]

Hello Stephanie, We are no longer recommending the quad wrap. We have had quite a few break at the base. Consider the double wrap Tiger. Stake hole pocket mounts offer a clean install. Best Regards, Clay

For a motorhome choose a no ground antenna such as an LG-M2 or an FG648. They don't require ground and typically don't require tuning. The link below will take you to the page. www.claysradioshop.com/citizensband_firestick_no_ground_antennas.htm Regards, Clay
