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 Christopher Gonzalez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

CB antenna with large magnetic mount.

Bought this to work with the new Cobra CB radio. The radio was junk, but this antenna is great. The magnet is very strong, the whip is well made. Has been used outdoors daily for some time and has not corroded or changed its electrical properties. It was easy to set up and the latex boot on the bottom helps keep your car looking good. The only reason I gave it a low rating is the latex boot on the bottom, it's starting to fall apart. Some other types have a huge sticker at the bottom, others leave it open to the elements. This "boot" is a great idea, but it would be better to make it thicker or better material. All in all it looks like an antenna that will really last and hold on for a while. I don't expect perfection since magnetically attached antennas are only meant for temporary use anyway. Take an old CB radio with real components inside (no surface mount junk) and add this antenna for years of use.

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Hard to say
