## Description

Firestik 4 122cm Light Weight Antenna 5 8 Wave Black

Review: Beats Francis 4' Antenna! Can't go wrong with the FireStik and its great features! - In my set up, I have the antennas mounted behind the cab of my Colorado pick up truck on the bed rail directly behind the window. I have a GMRS antenna on the right and a VHF/UHF on the left with the CB antenna in the middle. I first tried out a 4' Francis double 1/4 wave antenna and unfortunately I was only able to get 2.5 SWR across all channels, that was the good thing more or less, while not great, at least it was consistent SWR on ALL channels. CH 1 and 40 were the same SWR, along with CH19 (~2.5 SWR). If I were to cut any more off after trimming about 1.5" off, then CH 1 and 40 would not be equal anymore. I used a QD mount which raised the antenna about 3" higher than it would have been. The ground plane is great of course--you have the top of the cab and bed as a great counterpoise, and I also tested the ground electrically and everything was mounted correctly and the coax was exactly the length I needed at 15', RG58. I tried RG8X as well, with no difference in SWR whatsoever. Therefore, I decided to try out this 4' FireStik (Firefly) and I get improved SWR of 1.4 on CH19 and 1.8-1.9 on CH1 & 40 WITHOUT any adjustments to the tuning screw and only raising up the capacitance cap about 1/2 inch. Not saying the Francis is a bad antenna, but the double 1/4 wave antenna did not give the best performance for my purpose like the comparable 4' FireStik antenna. So now, I am sticking with the FireStik for my specific setup, and recommend if you do the same set up as me.
Review: Great antenna. - Great antenna! I used this to replace a beat to hell Firestick I had on my truck and it's been working great for the last month since I installed it. I'm a big fan of being able to tune it by the screw top and the fact that it's not as rigid as the old Firestick ended up being a plus considering I'm just using a solid mount with no spring. Also of note. If you don't plan on running this from a base station and are going to hook it up to a typical vehicle mounted radio that never puts out more than 5 watts anyway, the maximum power tolerance (200w) is a non-issue considering you're never going to come remotely close to transmitting that kind of power.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This thing worked like a champ!!
*by J***. on October 24, 2017*

This antenna gave me really good reception for where I was (Florence by the Coke Ovens). Was able to communicate between the 4 trucks we had no problem at all. Very clear with the Uniden BEARCAT CB Radio With Sideband And WeatherBand (980SSB) and super easy to install and tune. We went pretty deep into the wash and the antenna handled the trees like a champ...super flexible. Only thing to be careful with in the trees is your tip cover, mine got pulled off. But you can order a set of 2 for like $5 I think. Be sure to get the other items necessary 18' RG-58A/U Coaxial Cable With Pl-259 Connectors , an Firestik SS-3H Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Antenna Spring , and a Firestik K-4A Stud with Screw-On Coaxial Termination for Antenna Mirror Mounts . You'll also need some way to mount it. A bracket of sorts. I just drilled a hole through my front bumper and installed it there. I really like my setup with this product.
