Review on πŸ“‘ Jensen 1181039 14-inch Top/Side Mount Rubber-Mast Antenna with Cable: Enhanced Signal Reception and Versatile Mounting Options by Jesse Bailey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works/Fits but not intended for heavy use.

I have bought 3 of these antennas for my father's skid steer/loader over the past 5 years, they keep breaking at the base of the antenna. I couldn't find a suitable replacement other than this one, so we just keep buying the same one. The antenna fits perfectly and is adjustable, works great with the Jensen radio but is not really designed for "heavy duty" use. The problem we have with a skid steer is that it tends to catch on the brush etc and break off the antenna at the base. There really isn't a fault with the antenna, we just need something more durable/robust, but we couldn't find anything that could stand up to the rigors of use on a skid steer.

Pros
  • Heavy duty construction
Cons
  • Very expensive
