FireFly TM
Lightweight tune-able Tip CB Antenna
|
|
Rated @200 watts |
4 Foot
The "FL" Series antennas are the performance leader of lightweight
top-loaded CB antennas. Each is approximately 40% lighter than the equivalent
length Firestik II antenna. From the perspective of mount stress, the lighter
materials and reduced wind drag of the "FL" antennas reduces stress by
more than 60%. A 4-foot FireFly will easily perform on a mount that is
designed for antennas 3-foot or less. At the top of every "FL" antenna
you will find our patented tunable-tip. Besides making tuning a snap, the
design broadens the antennas bandwidth and increases its power handling
capabilities.
All "FL" antennas are 100% American made with
100% American materials. To maintain a balance between flexibility and
ruggedness, we use a custom blended, glass fiber reinforced tube. Each is wound
with double insulated copper wire to prevent the oxidation and shorted windings
often found on non-Firestik antennas. The tunable tip mechanism is made from
rust-proof brass and has a rubber o-ring to hold the adjuster in place after
tuning. Our 3/8"-24 threaded base will fit all Firestik mounts and
accessories. Each antenna is covered with a static reducing, water-tight
sleeve containing UV and pigment stabilizers.

"Lightweight, Easy-tune 'bare-hands tunable tip',
High-performance coil design, Flexible fiberglass tube " |
Like all CB antennas, the
"FL" antennas should be fine-tuned (SWR) in their final mounting location.
If you have ever tuned a non-tunable tip antenna, you will have a real
appreciation for the "FL" antennas. In short, tuning is as easy as popping
off the tip and turning the adjustment screw up or down as needed. All
"FL" antennas exceed the requirements of any CB radio, new or old. Aside
from the hi-performance loading coil that maximizes the transmit/receive
functions of your CB, these top-loaded antennas will also receive the NOAA
emergency weather alert and national weather broadcasts for radios with
those features. |
