FireStik FL3-B Three Foot FireFly Antenna With Tuneable Tip (Black)

Really great antennas. I actually own two of these antennas, one is 3ft the other is 4ft. The 4ft version is on my tractor trailer and I can tune it to a perfect SWR of 1:1 right in the middle of the band at channel 20. The 3ft version also tunes up nicely but I can only get it to 1.3:1 swr at channel 20 which for CB is still a really good performance. Overall I love both of my antennas. They are a great value. I'd also like to add that the 4ft version tunes up very nice on the 10 meter ham band too. I've actually used it for portable ops on 10 meters with a ham radio and made a bunch of contacts.

Had to go to a fender mount on my new 2023 f150 due to it being aluminum and having a tanau cover. This is ALL you want on a fender mount! I had a 4 foot firestik 2 on a mag mount on my last truck and it wouldve destroyed my fender mount on this truck. This is absolutely perfect. BTW a procomm medium duty spring is the perfect spring for this. Light duty was wayyy too floppy and a heavy duty would snap this antenna off before bending. Was so easy to tune to 1.1 swr and works exactly like it should. Looks good on my truck and it is nice it being thinner and lighter. Definitely recommend. Cap was black to match antenna

Exactly as shown. Great product!

SWR varies greatly from channel 1 to channel 40. If I set this up on channel 10 with a SWR of 1, which I can easily do, then the SWR is 2 at channel 1 and close to 3 on channel 40. Never saw this with my old Wilson. The size and style works well with a spare tire bracket mount on my JK, it sticks up just enough above the soft top. Haven't hit any tree limbs with it yet but seems like it will hold up well. No spring mount needed because the spare tire will limit its motion anyway. Used an 18' fire ring cable to run it to my arm rest console. I live in the mountains and can talk for about 2 miles despite the hills. Probably would do quite well in a flat area.

I originally purchased another brand antenna, but could never get it tuned properly. I was able to tune this antenna perfectly in less than10 minutes.

My setup currently consists of this antenna and a President McKinley SSB CB. This antenna was easy to adjust with an SWR meter. I got the SWR at channel 20 right at 1.0, and the radio’s performance is excellent with this antenna. I would definitely recommend a spring at the bottom of this antenna, because although the fiberglass is somewhat flexible, if it got in a fight with a branch, it would lose. Overall fantastic antenna for CB radios.

Totaly worth the money! Was super easy to tune in and only took about ten min. Talks and recieves realy well.It does make a little wind noise but less than my last 3ft fransis

Works!

I had 2 other antenna from Amazon and both broke after little use. I was told Firestik was the way to go so we shall see. The setup and tuning was super easy but as you know, Tuning can be tedious......
