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

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

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.

Fit easy on my Jeep WJ easy to tune

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.

So happy to have my Fire Stick, Local manufacturing and the best antennas for mobile use be it on the mirror mounts on my KW before I retired or on my 4 wheeler now. Keep the good times rolling driver.

Very good antenna with great receive and transmit. Getting reports from several miles away and decent performance on AM as well as SSB with SWRs of 1.1-1.3 across the band in my setup.

Easy to tune for 10 & 11 meter. Rugged, & reliable.

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......
