Decent magnetic mount CB antenna Jan 12, 2007
By Alfred
This came properly packaged in a large cardboard box (no problems with damage in transit). I inserted the antenna whip into the base and tightened a set screw with the enclosed allen wrench. The magnetic mount held the antenna securely in the middle of the roof of our van. The cable was sufficiently long to run from the antenna, through the rear hatch door seal, down to the floor of the van, along the floor to the front seat where it attached to a cb radio. Since I did not have an SWR meter, I was not able to adjust the antenna. Even so, I was getting a good mile radius around me where I had solid radio contact (this is from a Cobra hand-held CB). Antenna stayed firm on the roof even though I was driving 70mph for much of the time. We got into some freezing rain which formed a layer of ice around the antenna (and that hurt transmission), but did not cause any damage to the antenna.

 I recommend this for easy install and use. Oct 06, 2008
By Monica Thomasson

If you have a small car, such as my Mazda, it is easy to install and route to the CB. I have mounted mine on the trunk, and it can be removed if necessary. The magnet is of good strength and works well. It has also taken a few knocks from my oak tree that branches out over my drive way.
So far, I am pleased with its performance.

cobra cb antenna Feb 07, 2007
By A. Easley
The Cobra antenna that I received was of a very good quality and performed very well with my Cobra 40 channel SSB Radio. The only problem was that I had ordered the HG A1500 High Gear CB Antenna and received the HG A1000 Antenna instead. It is the same antenna except it is about 15 inches shorter. I decided to keep it instead of going to all the trouble sending it back for an exchange.

Great Antenna, Durable, and Range is Amazing! Feb 25, 2008
By jgg204

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!

 Poor Base Cover Dec 04, 2009
By L. Harvey
"flatlandr"
The vinyl cover of the base is flimsy at best. Falls off and will get lost over time leaving bare metal magnet touching your paint.
