Review on Firestik Antenna FireStik MU8R18 18 Foot by Mike Cody

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Connector came off cable due to poor crimping

I've been working on the cable routing for over an hour. I set it to 80% and then pulled it under the car mat and the crimp connector came loose. All I can say is that the connector came loose with so little effort. This would likely be the cause of the random signal and SWR issues. Really bad quality control. Of course I can buy a new connector and crimping tool to fix it. But that is not the point. The thing is, it should be a plug and play install. a bit now I'm repairing/building a cable anyway. Do not buy this cable.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Good but not great
