Each antenna is covered with a static reducing, water-tight sleeve containing
UV and pigment stabilizers. For peek performance we recommend that you
use one of our Fire-Flex or RoadPal coaxial cables with these antennas.

Firestik Firefly 4 Foot Flexable Antenna
FireStik
BRIEF:
Lightweight, Easy-tune 'bare-hands tunable tip', High-performance coil
design, Flexible fiberglass tube
DETAIL:
The "FL" Series antennas are the performance leader of lightweight
top-loaded CB antennas. Each is approximately 40% lighter than the equivalent
length Firestik II antenna. From the perspective of mount stress, the lighter
materials and reduced wind drag of the "FL" antennas reduces stress by
more than 60%. A 4-foot FireFly will easily perform on a mount that is
designed for antennas 3-foot or less. At the top of every "FL" antenna
you will find our patented tunable-tip. Besides making tuning a snap, the
design broadens the antennas bandwidth and increases its power handling
capabilities. All "FL" antennas are compatible with autos, trucks, vans,
motorcycles and ATV's in a single antenna configuration when metallic ground
plane is available. Or, they may be used in dual (co-phased) configuration
on any vehicle made from any type of material. Like all CB antennas, the
"FL" antennas should be fine-tuned (SWR) in their final mounting location.
If you have ever tuned a non-tunable tip antenna, you will have a real
appreciation for the "FL" antennas. In short, tuning is as easy as popping
off the tip and turning the adjustment screw up or down as needed. All
"FL" antennas exceed the requirements of any CB radio, new or old. Aside
from the hi-performance loading coil that maximizes the transmit/receive
functions of your CB, these top-loaded antennas will also receive the NOAA
emergency weather alert and national weather broadcasts for radios with
those features.
All? "FL" antennas are 100% American made with 100% American materials.
To maintain a balance between flexibility and ruggedness, we use a custom
blended, glass fiber reinforced tube. Each is wound with double insulated
copper wire to prevent the oxidation and shorted windings often found on
non-Firestik antennas. The tunable tip mechanism is made from rust-proof
brass and has a rubber o-ring to hold the adjuster in place after tuning.
Our 3/8"-24 threaded base will fit all? Firestik mounts and accessories.?
Each antenna is covered with a static reducing, water-tight sleeve containing
UV and pigment stabilizers. For peek performance we recommend that you
use one of our Fire-Flex or RoadPal coaxial cables with these antennas.
