If you want the best, buy Firestik

Heavy duty stainless steel bracket and high quality coax cable with flat connector. Don't settle for less. I doubt you will find anything better.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Out of Fashion

Needed a little bend but ok

Installed on a Chevy Van. I had to bend the bracket a bit to avoid interfering with the hood closing, but with the help of a wrench and hammer I managed. Would buy again.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Better than I thought!

Great product, good quality cable and the fit was much better than I expected. Everything went easy and very tight. Soldering the coax tip wasn't difficult either. I recommend!

Pros
  • Handsome
Cons
  • Sad packaging

Improper base station equipment

The length of the screw that secures the antenna thread, cable and nylon washer is not long enough to connect all components to the bracket. The kit was practically useless without the right screw.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Operating speed

A very good kit. good for cradle

Just received this set. Very good stuff. Photos show the product I received. The first photo is the box itself. Second is the contents. Third, they are items in a small zippered pocket. Looking forward to installing this on my 2012 Tundra. Looks like I'll have to bend the bracket a bit to make it work with the hood (using the top fender bolt closest to the firewall). I would prefer to put it in bed. You can drill a few extra holes for a clean look. I will add a review when I install.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly

Pittsburgh Steel what can go wrong

Love the channel mount, the Firestik cable was a little long after installing the mount. I didn't want the number 8 and a ton of wires under my hood or dash, so I cut it off. Oh god I'm just F, no it's all good. I ended up running 6 to 6 1/2 feet to the main unit. It's very clean and VERY easy to install, looks amazing on the truck. I would definitely recommend this seller and/or item. It took me about 10 minutes to perfectly set up the firestik fs2 4' 900w antenna. Today I put a photo toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • boring packaging

SOLDERING REQUIRED!

The mount is quite strong but flexes when I ride my 4ft FireStik down the road on a reinforced FireStik spring. I hope it doesn't break. But it seems strong enough that it doesn't happen. For the cable you will need to solder a connector to the side of the CB radio! There was no mention of this when I bought it, so I was annoyed at first. However, this makes it easier to run the cable through the firewall, so it worked. Luckily I can solder. Can't complain about the price and simplicity. Justโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very Impressive
Cons
  • Embarrassing
