The FireStik tunable tip antenna is one of our best sellers. With so many options for length and color, and having a tuning tip, it is no wonder why this is one of the most popular antennas that we offer. This antenna will compliment any vehicle. Throw in tried and true performance that is made in the U.S.A and a super easy bare-hands tuning tip and the choice is easy. They call this one the Firestik 2 because it builds on the time tested KW series antennas from Firestik. It has the same fiberglass core wound with copper wire and a 3/8 x 24 threaded base. The Firestik 2 adds a tuning tip that can be adjusted without tools, making tuning your antenna much simpler.
Frequencies:
The Firestik 2 antenna, in any length, covers all CB radio frequencies, SSB CB frequencies, AM/FM, and NOAA weather and alert bands. That is every frequency any CB radio uses and more! This antenna is compatible with any CB radio on the market today.
Compatibility:
This antenna is compatible with any vehicle or base installation that has an adequate ground plane. Click here for more information on ground plane. All pickup trucks, semis (tractor-trailers), vans and most passenger cars fit the bill.
This antenna has a 3/8 x 24 threaded base that is compatible with all Firestik and Accessories Unlimited mounts and accessories. It is also compatible with all Teraflex Jeep mounts, but the Teraflex mounts do not include an antenna stud. Our custom Teraflex Jeep mount kits include this stud with a cable.
Options:
This antenna is available in 2 - 5 foot lengths and colors including black, white, blue, red, green, yellow, pink, and USA (striped red, white and blue with white stars). We carry all available options in stock. This can be a lot to choose from. The best thing is to remember that taller antennas tend to perform better.
Springs:
Springs are an optional accessory for the Firestik II antenna. We recommend one in most cases. That can protect your antenna if you hit a low hanging branch or garage entrance. A medium spring like the SS3M is recommended for 2-3 foot Firestik II antennas. A heavy spring like the SS3H is recommended for 4-5 antennas. [ Ссылка ]
Coax:
Firestik recommends an 18 foot coax with their antennas. This will help you achieve a lower SWR when tuning the antenna. Always remember to wind any extra coax in a wide figure 8, not a tight coil.
Tune your Antenna:
All CB radio antennas need to be tuned. The Firestik 2 is no different. The bare hands tunable tip makes the process much simpler, though. We have more information in our guide to tuning your CB antenna.
See our Help Center's article How to Tune a CB Antenna for additional information.
