Cobra HG A 1000 Base-Load Small Mount 100W CB Antenna Review

Amazon must have sorted out the shipping packaging since the last reviewers commented.I received my antenna in a large box with plenty of padding.The antenna wasn't bent.However, the dimensions of the antenna are wrong... It's much longer than 21 inches, and so I wasn't able to install the antenna on the roof of my truck.Hence I'm giving it 4 stars, rather than 5.I've installed it on my pickup, but at the front of the truck.

Cobra 19DXIV 40-Channel CB Radio Review

Cobra 19DXIV 40-Channel CB Radio
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
OVERVIEW
I had this radio in my Dodge truck. It tucked nice under the dash and was a great performer. Power was good as well as reception. Great Buy!
POWER
Any CB you purchase is limited to 4 watts output power so dont let size fool you. ALL CB'S are limited to 4 watts due to FCC regulations, look it up!
PRICE
The price on this site is high retail to say the least. I purchased this unit from Wal-Mart for 35 dollars.
SIZE
This will not take up a bunch of in-cab space that you dont have to spare due to manual tranmissions and transfer case levers. It tucks away nice and doesnt get in the way.

I had a FireStik KW2-B on one of my previous cars for about 3 years and was pleased with it; however, if your mount can support a KW4 (or longer if feasible), the result will be longer range.My KW2 was mounted on the trunk deck using a gumdrop mount.I also have a KW4-W on one of my current vehicles and this review is relatively the same as my review of that antenna...It's a durable antenna that's made in the USA.The antenna is top loaded (coil is at the top) and has a fiberglass whip.If you are new to CB radio, don't forget that you'll also need a mount, coax cable, and an SWR meter for tuning the antenna.More information on tuning the antenna is available on the FireStik website (at the bottom of this product's page or under "Tech Help").I'd recommend reading FireStik's "Tech Help" section and taking their advice when shopping for an antenna:"At least two-thirds of the antenna should be above a vehicles roof line for optimum performance."This antenna adjusts by removing the rubber cap and trimming the antenna down with a pair of diagonal pliers.Be warned that, if you over-trim, you'll be looking at adding a spring or quick disconnect between the antenna and the mount in order to lengthen the antenna again.If you want an antenna that is screw adjusted, take a look at the Firestik II FS series with the tunable tip.Over-all, I believe this is a great antenna.

Cobra HG A 1500 Base-Load Medium Magnet Mount 300W CB Antenna Review

This came properly packaged in a large cardboard box (no problems with damage in transit).I inserted the antenna whip into the base and tightened a set screw with the enclosed allen wrench.The magnetic mount held the antenna securely in the middle of the roof of our van.The cable was sufficiently long to run from the antenna, through the rear hatch door seal, down to the floor of the van, along the floor to the front seat where it attached to a cb radio.Since I did not have an SWR meter, I was not able to adjust the antenna.Even so, I was getting a good mile radius around me where I had solid radio contact (this is from a Cobra hand-held CB).Antenna stayed firm on the roof even though I was driving 70mph for much of the time.We got into some freezing rain which formed a layer of ice around the antenna (and that hurt transmission), but did not cause any damage to the antenna.
