    2' Solarcon Pre-Tued Cb Antenna

    I am looking to sell the 2 foot solar con CB antenna that I purchased new about a week ago. I actually find that this antennas range and clarity are limited. Its because the way I mounted it prevents the top not he antenna from braking the height of my soft top. I could re arrange it but to avoid drilling more holes id figured Id sell it and just get a 3 foot. I have pictures on my build log showing it... not that you would have to se it though. I am keeping the mount therefore it is not included.

    I recommend this antenna for anyone that would like to have a cb antenna and actually does research of how to mount it, unlike myself, or for someone who wants a secondary antenna for the trails...


    Make me an offre, otherwise it'll be my back up...

    If I was you I would keep it for trail run's so it dont swing all over the place and break on the inside and if you want good range go with a 4' because you should have 1/4 to 1/2 of the antenna above the ground plane/roof line.
    I run 5' ant on my xj and i get great range I talk to cbers all over the 5 boroughs of nyc.

    also make shour your swr's are lower then 1.2 that should be your max limit

    but this is just my opp

    Hmmm I definitely might do that... aside from firestik, can you recommend/warn me about any other brands.
