Review on FireStik IBA 5 Indoor Base Antenna by Black Croom

You really need one of these amazingly affordable new spectrum analyzers to see and appreciate the performance. With an SWR of 1.1, the antenna delivers an SWR < 1.5 at a frequency greater than MHz. Set up is easy with screws on top. I want the shrink wrap to hold the RG58 with a large bend radius. I'm pretty sure some of them were under 1 inch to avoid damage. But it worked well, so I guess that's all that matters. For coaxial cables, the "minimum bend radius" is important. And the ground bars are a bit clumsy. But they also work. So I deduct a point for those things. In general I'm happy.
