You may have seen or used inexpensive base loaded antennas that were imported from the Pacific Rim countries but you are about to be exposed to an antenna like you've never seen before. Throughout the years radio enthusiasts have expected Firestik to offer them high quality and innovative products. This new antenna will prove once again that Firestik aims to please their customers. The "Rome" antenna is a joint effort between Firestik and Italy's largest, premier antenna manufacture. You probably know the Itailians for their exotic sports cars, unsurpassed high quality shotguns or their exquisitely designed fine clothes. Now you are going to know them for their antennas. By combining Italian workmanship and design with Firestiks knowledge of American antenna standards we are able to offer you an antenna that has exceptional performance, spectacular looks, and unique mechanical features. If that is what you've been looking for ... then you will want to have this antenna on your vehicle! The "Rome" is a 5/8's wave base-loaded CB antenna. The over-all length of the antenna is 54" (137 cm). The "Rome" has a p.e.p. wattage rating of 250 watts and a sub-2.0:1 SWR bandwidth of approximately 2250 KHz ... more than five times the legal CB radio bandwidth! The antenna can be mounted to any mount or surface that can accomodate its 1.5" (38mm) base diameter. The mounting base is designed to use the common American standard that calls for a 1/2" mounting hole. The tilt/fold-down mechanism allows the antenna to be adjusted more than 90 degrees in either direction parallel to its mounting surface. Even when angle adjustment isn't a requirement, the fold down option can be very helpful to those moving in and out of parking facilities. The base includes a rubber gasket/seal to protect against water leaks. All exposed metal parts are finished in classy, gloss black chrome. To compliment the design and features of the antenna, we finished the kit off with our exclusive FireRing terminated coaxial cable. After all, if you're going to have the best antenna ... shouldn't you have the best coax carrying the information to and from your radio? The coax is 18ft (5.5m) so you can mount it just about anywhere and have plenty enough cable to make it to the radio. 54.95 US Firestik FG2DD "No-Ground Plane", CB Antenna Kit FireStik PURPOSE: The FG2-DD series 'No ground plane" (NGP) CB antenna kits were specifically designed to solve the lack of ground plane (counterpoise) problems found on vehicles constructed of plastic, fiberglass, wood or aluminum. This includes, but is not limited to, motorhomes, boats, automobiles and 18-wheeler trucks. Ground plane problems typically show up in the form of high standing wave ratio (SWR) and poor performance. The isolated ground plane that is built into the FG2-DD series kits will also alleviate problems on metal base vehicles that lack the sufficient ground plane for proper operation. This could be due to the size of available ground plane (ATV, bicycle, motorcycle, wheelchair, etc.), or because the operator chooses to mount the antenna in a location that is unable too properly take advantage of available ground plane. The FG2-DD series kits are designed for mounting on a flat horizontal surface. They are the ideal choice for motorhome roofs, the deck of a boat, the roof of a pick-up camper or cap, the trunk deck of a Corvette, or the roof of a fiberglass or aluminum 18-wheeler tractor. The installed height above roofline, including the spring and antenna is just less than 29 inches (737mm). COMPONENT INFORMATION: Page 257/525
