Review on πŸ“» Falcon 2400W 11m Dipole CB Radio Antenna for Base Station by James Nedumaran

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inexpensive Base Antenna

This is a well made dipole antenna. However, getting the SWR to an acceptable level will require some experimentation. The higher you can mount it outside or in your house, the easier it will be to set up. Mine is currently in the garage. This was difficult as the steel frame of the garage door reflects most of the RF. However, I eventually found that the "L" configuration on the ceiling gave an SWR of 2.0. Not great, but I can talk to local CB maniacs within a 3-5 mile radius of my house. Also, the "L" direction tends to direct or focus transmission and reception in a 180 degree pattern in the direction that the "L" legs are pointing.

Pros
  • Used for AM, FM, USB, LSB, Radio.
Cons
  • Some bugs
