Customer Insights: Rated 4.67/5 from 6 reviews.
This is easy to set up and does an okay job of handling signals if you don't have an outdoor antenna. It does pretty well considering that you use it indoors, about as good as you can get for. a pre-made antenna. It is a little pricey, but not too bad.
Antenna was packaged properly %26 arrived in great condition. Easy to assemble %26 came with instructions. Very durable antenna for apartment use, no grounding required. Note not the strongest signal but acceptable
Great Antenna with a ground plane !!!
This is a small CB antenna shaped like a ground plane, but all elements are shorter. The vertical is helical wind, and the planes are wide thick metal. It is designed for convenience and portability, and it is. Range is, as you would expect, quite limited. SWR is a little tricky to set. But if you want clear, short-range, portable CB, this is an EXCELLENT choice!
This review is meant to be neutral on the product. Indoor antenna usage always has some challenges and the design of this antenna and its placement inside a structure will be challenging. It performed satisfactory in our testing. Obtaining reasonable VSWR readings took some effort by a combination of tuning the antenna, repositioning and use of a 1:1 balun. TX/RX testing also rated satisfactory. If you live in an apartment or have limited attic space for an indoor antenna this will serve although there are better options available.
