I use the firestik quick disconnect with my garage too. Works perfect. If you get it, I suggest you retune your CB with it on there.

Perfect. Ill check that out. Any idea if that K1A works with any model firestik?
Edit: im sure google will tell me that. Lol. That was a laziness based question...

Haha second this. My wife screams at the slightest bit of off camber when off roading. Always thinks we're inches away from tipping lol

I feel like there's a "that's what she said" joke somewhere in this comment.

Bummer, i wish they would make all those garage openings 8 ft . I just would be worried with the qdc that somone would snag my antenna

Seriously guys, are we not doing phrasing?
Note that that's out of the way
I have a Quick Disconnect on my 3 foot Firestik but haven't had to use it. I've got plenty of clearance getting into my garage. But my antenna mount is a little backwards from most everybody else's I've seen.

My experience (with the Quick Disconnect that is) has been pretty bad. I had read that they come apart after a while. My situation was that I could not get a good ground out of the thing, and such, my SWR was very high. I also understood that the quick disconnect will accumulate water and then eventually rust. The old ones used to be really good, but the new ones are not made as well (read Chinese) and failed after a short while.
I simply unscrew my Firestik II from the mount when I want to park it inside. It is easy and I get a much better transmission with a SWR of almost 1.1!!
As for the wife, super happy with her.

That's what I did on my Silverado, when I had a CB. Now that I'm about to get another, I'll probably just do that, again.
