Review on Firestik K-11 Magnet Mount with 18-foot Coaxial Cable by Nick Cleary

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It is what it is: CB and talkback radios

This is a magnet. It's not magic. It's not difficult. If you are not careful, she will fall. If you drive a small car and/or don't want to permanently mount the short CB antenna, use this. If you plan to install a whip antenna and drive off-road or in wooded areas, use a permanent mount. I've had it for two weeks now. I attached a three foot Firestik antenna and a strong Firestik spring to this magnet mount. I drive a small hatchback with a CB antenna on the roof. I can drive 70mph on the freeway and the antenna will be fine. If I walk under a low hanging branch, it will fall. If I turn too hard, he will fall. If it rains or my car is wet, the antenna mount will likely fall off and drag its cable across the road behind my car. So far I had to stop twice to put the antenna back on the roof. Actually, it's a pain. My car has paid off and I intend to drive it until it stops. I'm not afraid to poke holes in my car. I plan to return this mount and find something more durable.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
