Review on πŸ“‘ Tram Tri-Magnet CB Antenna Mount Kit with Rubber Boots & Coaxial Cable, 5", Silver - Model 2692: Enhance Reception and Durability by Ryan Brady

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Take a risk if you want.

I wish I could give more than 3 stars but I can't. The overall build quality is great, it is very heavy as it looks in the photos and is expected to be difficult to move, especially if you place it on a nice flat surface and have to let go to move it. The biggest problem I had was that I couldn't even get my SWR readings anywhere near values below 3. I took the plugs apart, double checked everything, everything seems fine, added some ground and thought maybe that's the problem. I didn't even run the ground wire from the brackets to the chassis thinking that might be the problem but I still haven't gotten my SWR below 3. For the price of this item compared to buying a regular 3 inch piece of flat steel and assemble. Antenna and many other places I was very disappointed. But I won't rate it less than three stars because while it's not working very well at the moment, I might be able to replace the coax and use it as another option later in the future. Definitely not going to throw it away as it cost so much money to buy.

Pros
  • Chrome steel magnet body
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
