I gave these 2 for a reason. You can hear very well with this antenna. All pleasant and pure sounding. now for the reason i gave it a 2. As soon as I hit 35-45 mph the antenna gets a vibration coming out of the speakers. I thought I was going crazy but after I learned this. there are many more people with the same problem. buy at your own risk.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Expensive

Universal Antenna!: Antennas

I needed to install a 10/11 meter base antenna that was smaller than a full size base antenna. I've tried experimenting with several different antennas, from an inverted V dipole to several different mobile antennas. I finally tried this K40 BCMax antenna on a 5ft mast. It worked very well but the SWR was a bit high. I added a 104 inch radial wire to the mounting bracket and stretched it out at a 45 degree angle. Viola! SWR 1:1 on channel 19 and 1.3 on channels 1 and 40. The reception…

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Upgrades

Excellent antenna - sounds loud and proud. Easy to set up. With little effort we managed to reduce the SWR to 1.5. The main complaint is that the antenna keeps coming loose at the base. There's no way to tighten it other than by hand and with the aluminum base I'm afraid if I press too hard it could strip the threads. The threads seem to be loose after a few thousand kilometers. Yes, I ran into some low branches - the thing is tall and my mount doesn't allow it to be set up at a right angle…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Easy serviceability
