45" Antenna
Introducing the
Firestik45 (item FS45-B), an ideally sized 45-inch (114cm) CB radio antenna,
crafted for the modern “over-the-road” driver and power-user. This new
antenna by Firestik, merges sales convenience with performance. With
shipping rates reaching new heights consumers benefit from package sizes
that do not exceed 48 inches in length. SAVING MONEY with the same
performance.
Frequency Meets
FirePower with the Firestik45. This antenna is not just about powerful
transmission; it’s about precision and quality. Every Firestik45 is 100%
American made, using premium American materials,
integrating the spirit of American
craftsmanship in every transmission. It’s exceptional construction,
including a voltage-increasing copper coil and a glass-fiber reinforced
shaft, means this antenna can handle the demands of the road while providing
unparalleled communication clarity. This top of the line Firestik, rated at
a robust 900 watts and designed as a 5/8 wave antenna, embodies the essence
of high-caliber communication. The Firestik45 merges the legendary features
of the original “KW” series Firestik with the innovative bare-hands tunable
tip. This patented design not only simplifies tuning but also broadens the
antenna’s bandwidth, ensuring lower SWR over more channels and enhancing the
communication experience, making it a reliable companion for long hauls.
Available in
sleek black with a copper-colored vinyl tip, the Firestik45 is not just an
antenna, it’s a statement; a testament to the user's commitment to the best
in communication technology. Serious travelers choose the Firestik45, where
superior performance meets unmatched durability.
All "FS" antennas are compatible with autos, trucks, vans, motorcycles and ATV's in a single antenna configuration when metallic ground plane is available. Or, they may be used in dual (co-phased)
configuration on any vehicle made from any type of material. Like all CB antennas, the "FS" 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 "FS" antennas. To tune a "FS" antenna, you just pop-of the tip and turn the adjustment screw up or down as needed.
All "FS" 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.
The "FS" 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 shaft. Each is wound with heavy
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 has a tapered contact point that works especially well with
Firestik mounts and accessories. The tapered "lug-nut" effect transfers stress
away from the threads and reduces the possibility of vibration induced loosening
of the antenna in its mount.
