Review on 🐍 Cobra HGA 1500 Hga1500: 36 Inch Magnetic Mount CB Antenna with Heavy Duty Magnet - Ideal for Cars, SUVs, and RVs - 300 Watt Power Handling Capability by Douglas Davis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic antenna for CB and radio equipment

It arrived in a cardboard box large enough to accommodate its very long dimensions. There was no corner to fight. I installed it on my 2007 Ford Focus, roof first which gave me amazing reception. Then I remembered I had to go into the garage, which is limited to 6ft 8in, so I relocated the antenna to my tiny trunk lid. If you've ever seen the trunk lid of a 2007 Ford Focus, you'll understand why I was concerned. CB antennas rely on the metal surface beneath them to help them transmit. The larger the surface, the better. However, I was pleasantly surprised as I was able to pick up calls I knew were a few miles away. UPDATE: I've used this in the DC subway area and gotten amazing range. I have heard transmissions over 10 miles away and sometimes much further. Overall it was a great purchase and I would buy it again.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Requires socket
