Review on FireStik FL3-B 3ft FireFly Antenna - Adjustable Tuneable Tip (Black) by Sean Purnomo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

antenna firestick. Scrap

I have been using CB radios since 1971, my whole family are truckers and totally dependent on truck driving, timely deliveries and having a CB radio in the cab of all my trucks to smear their deliveries on time. My first radio was a Realistic Mini 23 (cheap Radio Shack) installed on a Mack Model 65B. I'm 67 years old and not politically correct, an ace is an ace. I've always used everything and recently used K-40 with no problems, then I saw your advert for the famous Firestick. Bought 2 and installed one. I plugged in my Cobra 29 and the red antenna light came on. checked my SWR on my trusty dusty old SWR meter and set the tip of my Firestick to 0 on the meter. Connected a coax cable to my "29" and it worked. All is well. Did? excited to talk to a trucker the next day. the antenna light is on. Recalibrated again and everything is fine. the next day the same. I'm not a .doube dummy, TRIPLE tested installation, coax routing. traded the radio for a new Cobra 29 for another $135, same thing. Waste of money, it wasn't a radio. I have a K-40. listed.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very Expensive
