Great range!

By Lily on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2013

This antenna is great. I have this setup on my 11' Jeep wrangler unlimited and it functions perfectly. I'm getting a 1.0-1.2 SWR on all channels. This is installed on a rugged ridge mount, using all FireStik products (Stud,Coax,etc.) Every FireStik product I've used so far is high quality and installed with ease and without issue. See my other reviews for the related products. The tunable tip is great, took me 5 minutes to tune it down to almost perfect SWR (based on my SWR meter). If you have a good ground-plane you should be able to tune this very easily. I had to twist the tune screw out about 1/2 inch, and everything is working great. Getting 5-10 miles of range easily with this installed under normal conditions. I'm assuming I can get much more under ideal conditions. Have picked up several people from across the country. I'm sure they're using amps, but that's still fairly impressive.

Okay for 4Wheeling; Not ideal

By Chris on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2013

I ordered this for my Jeep Cherokee but it's a bit too tall and stiff for off-roading. On rough terrain, it will sway back and forth violently so make sure you add the spring so it doesn't snap your mount. On freeways it works fine (pretty decent range but I did not do very scientific testing). You can lean it forward a bit so that the wind will push it vertical. Remember you NEED to use a SWR meter to tune it! Otherwise you'll just end up with static. Probably a good buy for highway use, but if you want to use it off-roading, look for something shorter and flexy-er.
