very happy worked great on my midland hand held cb, just dont forget to buy the adapter, very well built , getting out around 4 miles using this antenna and my hand held…got it mounted on top of truck, the magnet is strong, limbs , carport,etc, never knocks it off
HAS to be tuned First let me say I’m no CB expert as I’ve just gotten into the hobby. This antenna has a soft rubber bottom that will protect the your cars paint. The cable is about 15 ft and the antenna is about 30 inches tall including the base. Now a word about tuning, for this antenna you absolutely need to tune it. With short antennas the issue is that they are extremely sensitive to their tuned length. The lowest SWR I could get on this antenna being mounted on the trunk lid was 1.3:1.4. Not bad but…
The truth about antennas I sometimes wonder if anyone actually reads the instructions. Not just Midland antennas, but all CB radio antennas.
