- Does it come with a mount and coax?
- No. It is the antenna only. You need a CB mount, coax cable and a connector to complete the install.
- Do I need to tune it?
- Yes. Check and adjust SWR with a meter after mounting. Fiberglass whips usually need the tip trimmed or the whip adjusted to get SWR down.
- Will it work on a building?
- Yes, with a suitable mast or wall mount. Keep the whip clear of metal and ground it properly for best SWR.
- Is 1,500 W more than I need for CB?
- Legal CB is 4 W AM or 12 W SSB, so the rating is headroom. It means the antenna won't be the weak link if you run an amplifier within the law.
- How does it compare with a steel whip?
- Fiberglass flexes and resists kinks and corrosion, but it is thicker and can splinter. Steel whips are thinner and cheaper but bend more easily.
