LOOK!!! i bought a new stick! 5/8ths wave (4') firestick II with a 90* vertical mount

 

hey..i have the same one...lol

 

quick question, that red nub on the end looks le-ghey, i was wondering if there is any issue with painting it? it seems like a no brainer to me, but the instructions say that that red cap being on or off will make a difference in the SWR...

 

**** that's tall... so much for parking in the garage... lol

 

ya idk about the red cap...i would assume u could paint it....and ya i was driving through a parking garage and didnt notice at first but i heard a scraping noise....i got out and looked and the antenna was rubbing on the roof of it...and it wore the top of the red cap down...lol

 

that SUCKS! i think i'm going to keep a wrench with me so i can pull it off of the mount if i need... i'm sure yours is the same way, but my antenna screws into a 1 inch tall nut, and there is another bolt like object that comes up below, and the mount it's self is between this bolt like object and the nut... so i can unscrew the antenna from the rest of it with no problems

 

ya i have the same thing....u might want to keep a wrench for the nut and the antenna because sometimes the nut will unscrew instead of the antenna.....i just have crescent wrenches in my toolbox..along with about another 100lbs of tools..lol

 

You should go dual

 

lol, my center console had nothing you would normally have in there, it had a 10'x4" tow strap, handheld CB, the antenna for it, charger for it, d-ring receiver, and a few other things, but i forget what... condom... but it's garbage now, we got down to -36 and it was parked outside

 

dual looks sweet, but the guy i was buying it from was like, don't bother, you will get better performance if you but 1x$60 antenna, vs 2x$30 antennas, plus, they have to be 7.5-8' apart to work properly, apparently... but they do look sweet!

 

yep, the other one is just for show

 

man i have the exact same antenna and i only paid like $40 for it

 

lol

 

you get that thing mounted yet?

 

i did, but the mount isn't bolted as well as it should be... i only have 2 bolts in it, so it swings like a m-fer... i'll get some pics if i am awake early enough tomorrow (working till 8am, sleeping till 4ish)

downside though, my SWR is a little high... it's somewhere between 1.00 and 1.05 i would say :D

 

Site to get this stick?

 

what? if you are asking what website i bought it off of... i didn't, got it from a local CB dealer...

firestick II's 5/8ths wave (4 foot)

 

 

Why do you have a hat on the top of your truck

 

ranger picture game, 2 birds, 1 stone

 

Hey man I put duals on my truck and they interfere with each other how did you run duals and not have a problem?

I believe he is talking to rangrdangr seeing as though he has the dual setup.
