- How do I tune the Firestik II FS-2BK?
- Trim the tunable tip a little at a time while checking SWR with a meter. The bare-hands tip means no cutting tools or soldering.
- Does it need a ground plane?
- Yes. It needs a metal surface under the mount, such as a vehicle body or a bracket bonded to the frame, to tune and perform well.
- What mount does it use?
- It fits standard 3/8-inch antenna mounts. The mount and coax are sold separately.
- Can I run two of these together?
- Yes. It is designed for single or dual configurations, though dual setups need proper coax phasing to work correctly.
- Is a 2-foot antenna enough for highway CB use?
- It handles normal CB range fine, but taller whips generally reach farther. The short height is the trade-off for clearance.
- How much power can it handle?
- It is rated at 300 watts, which covers standard CB radios and most amplifiers.
- Where is the Firestik II FS-2BK 2 300W Antenna - Black cheapest?
- At Amazon, for $34.50, as of our latest check.
