## Description

Firestik FS5-B FS-Series 5-Feet (152cm) 40 Channel Plus 1000 Watt Tunable Tip CB Antenna, Black, 5/8 Wave Length Design, Can be Used in Single or Dual Configurations, 3/8"-24 Threaded Base If you took the proven features and performance of the famous "KW" series antennas and added a unique tuning mechanism to the top, you would own the equivalent of a Firestik II, "FS" Series antenna. Aside from the ease of tuning, the patented design broadens the antennas bandwidth to keep SWR lower over more channels. The upper coil extension also increases the power handling capability of the antenna. If you want to see the Firestik II anatomy. All "FS" 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 "FS" 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 "FS" antennas. To tune a "FS" antenna, you just pop-of the tip and turn the adjustment screw up or down as needed. Key Features - 5/8 Wave Length Design Rated @ 1000 Watts - Can be Used in Single or Dual Configurations - Each is wound with heavy insulated copper wire to prevent the oxidation and shorted windings often found on non-Firestik antennas - Tunable tip mechanism is made from rust-proof brass and has a rubber o-ring to hold the adjuster in place after tuning - 3/8"-24 threaded base has a tapered contact point that works especially well with Firestik mounts and accessories - Tapered "lug-nut" effect transfers stress away from the threads and reduces the possibility of vibration induced loosening of the antenna in its mount - To maintain a balance between flexibility and ruggedness, we use a custom blended, glass fiber reinforced shaft

Review: Great reception, adjustable for SWR - Selected the 5" Firestick for my fender/hood mount position on pick-up truck. Needed some length to get the height over the cab height. Extended the adjuster all the way out which made the SWR usable, but not great due to my mounting location (1.6 to 2.1 on channels 1 and 40). I was able to make it much better by adding a quick disconnect for extra height. Without further adjustment, I am now at 1.4 or 1.5 SWR on both channels. This is good enough, but I might try to now shorten the Firestick adjuster to see if I can get it even lower. Happy with this antenna. Not sure about durability at this point, but it should be fine.
Review: Fantastic Antenna - This is my first FireStik. I am a Ham radio operator with roots in CB. I decided that I wanted to put a CB back into my truck, just to be prepared. I used a diamond k400 3/8 mount on my door hopping that I would not have a problem tuning this antenna not being in the center of my roof. To my delight, the antenna gave me an SWR of 1.5 right out of the package. The antenna was tuned short. By simply by letting the screw out I was able to easily tune it until the needle on the meter just twitched. I live in upstate NY and was making contacts in AL, SC, NC, and GA with a stock, unmodified radio. Amazingly simple to tune, so far its holding up very well. The only complaint I have is the red cap on top.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reception, adjustable for SWR
*by M***S on December 18, 2019*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Antenna
*by R***S on July 5, 2011*

This is my first FireStik. I am a Ham radio operator with roots in CB. I decided that I wanted to put a CB back into my truck, just to be prepared. I used a diamond k400 3/8 mount on my door hopping that I would not have a problem tuning this antenna not being in the center of my roof.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beats Out a 102 Inch Steel Whip. SWR at 1.1:1.
*by M***. on December 4, 2013*

I have this antenna installed on my 1997 Geo Tracker and the performance is great. Previously I had a 102 inch steel whip with a six inch spring in order the achieve the full 108 inch quarter wave installed on the spare tire carrier. No matter how I tuned it, it could never get the SWR below 2.0:1 on channel 1 and 2.2:1 on channel 40. I installed this antenna and the SWR instantly dropped to 1.2:1 on channel 1 and 1.5:1 on channel 40. I twisted the tuning bolt out about two turns and had the SWR at 1.1:1 on channel 1 and 1.2:1 on channel 40. I am completely satisfied with that. The antenna came packaged in FireStik's blister pack, exactly as you might see it hanging for sale on a truck stop wall. I ordered the black one which included a red tip. Installation into my 3/8-24 stud was quick and simple with the integrated half inch nut at the base. A couple of notes: CB antennas are NOT plug and play. While you might be able to use them without tuning you run the risk of at best, not optimizing your power output, and at worst frying your radio. With a $20 SWR meter, you could have your antenna installed and tuned in a half hour. When tuning the FireStik, make sure that you take the SWR readings with the removable tip in place. It does make a difference. Put a squirt of WD40 inside the tip before you put it on so that it's easier to remove until you have your tuning done. Giving the entire FireStik a rub down with WD40 will also help prevent ice buildup in the winter. I'll be sure to update this review after I've had some more time to judge the performance.
