Great Antenna, Durable, and Range is Amazing! |
So I purchased a handheld CB for emergency purposes, and I also purchased this antenna. I must say, this antenna is amazing in quality and range. It allowed me to talk to trucks from my university campus all the way across the river, out to US-22 where the Lehigh Valley mall is. That is some incredible range considering it is hilly with lots of large metal buildings around.
Anyways, I recommend this antenna to anyone with a CB, even a handheld. I know many people purchase a handheld CB for emergencies in the car, but many people don't purchase external antennas. Note to all of those people...having the CB in the car will diminish the transmitting range to almost nothing. Besides, if you have an emergency, do you really want to stand on top of your car and call for help b/c your manufacturer supplied antenna is a piece of junk? While pulled over you could set this antenna on top of your car and call for help. Or, whenever you are driving on a long trip, put it on top of your car ahead of time. It's also great for killing time and talking to people. I also purchased the Cobra telescoping antenna for true emergency purposes if I am separated from my vehicle and far from the high-way, I need to reach someone etc.
Overall...good to have...and it works on highways going over 80mph! |

Great antenna, terrible packaging |
|
I bought this antenna from Americancivilwar since I had a bad experience with a cheaper CB antenna. It's been a couple of months since I bought my Midland CB radio and I couldn't get any signal. This antenna is great. The rubber at the magnetic mount is gentle to your car's roof and other surfaces. The BIG problem was the packaging. I bought this antenna using a courier service, and Americancivilwar decided to package the tightly and flexibly packaged antenna in a HUGE box with more than 70% free space filled with paper. Outrageous. I was charged 500 USD just to get this box to my place since it was bigger than all of my other shipments together. |

Good basic antenna with good reception and no need for grounding |
I installed this with a Uniden 538 pro and it works very well. The only thing I don't like is that it's not encased in plastic like the fiberglass whips are, so when it's raining or icy my guess is that the antenna has the potential to create a circuit with the body of my car. Just speculation at this point though - overall I'm happy for the price.
NOTE: AMAZON BENT THIS ANTENNA TO FIT IN THE BOX. I had to spend about an hour getting back to straight, and still it's bent a bit. Scum bags. |

A1500 Cobra Antenna |

I clearly ordered an HG A1500 Cobra CB Antenna and I received an HG A1000 Cobra CB Antenna. One of the other reviews shows the same thing happened to them. Before you order from Americancivilwar you better check if you can get it at a local store first so you know what you're getting. |
