Terrible Reception, Avoid This One

This product is a disappointment. The signal is weak, the sound is poor, and the construction feels cheap. The only positive aspect is the price. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for with this one. Don't waste your money on this inferior Electronics product.

Pros
  • Good signal range and clarity.
Cons
  • Not compatible with all devices that use a different frequency range.

good antenna good for accessories

For me and my application I had to drill the base mount and I think the mounting hole should already be drilled. I installed a 1" 5ft conduit and I like my cables routed inside the conduit. Then I need to put it on top of my 48ft tower.

Pros
  • CB and radio equipment
Cons
  • contact seller

This antenna is not worth the money.

When we first installed the antenna it worked (well maybe it did) but there were no instructions on how to adjust RX/TX up or down? After the first rain and/or snow, the RX became prickly and almost unusable. Tightening the hex didn't solve the problem so we had to replace the antenna and the repeater is fine again. Recommend another antenna, this one doesn't have what you need in bad weather.
