Caught the Bug
Just wrapped up installing my CB and during the process I discovered that I was unable to use the tailgate mount for the antenna as the mount interfered with my AEV Fuel Caddy. As a result, I have mounted the antenna to the top of the AEV tire carrier mast. The antenna is a 3' Firestik II mounted to Firestik quick disconnect.
Because of the change in mounting location, my antenna is now considerably higher than originally planned. I realize this will offer great range, but I know I'll probably rip it off the first time I start wondering through the woods.
All of that said, if I keep the current mounting location, I would like to change the antenna. I like the two foot option, but Firestik does not offer a 2' Firefly (their flexible antenna). So, do I change to a 2' Firestik II to reduce the height, or change to a 3' Firefly to gain flexibility?
Thanks!
