The FireStik tunable tip antenna is one of our best sellers. With so many options for length and color, and having a tunable tip, it is no wonder why this is one of the most popular antennas that we offer. This antenna will compliment any vehicle. Throw in tried and true performance that is made in the U.S.A and a super easy bare-hands tunable tip and the choice is easy. They call this one the Firestik 2 because it builds on the time tested KW series antennas from Firestik. It has the same fiberglass core wound with copper wire and a 3/8 x 24 threaded base. The Firestik 2 adds a tunable tip that can be adjusted without tools, making tuning your antenna much simpler.FrequenciesThe Firestik 2 antenna, in any length, covers all CB radio frequencies, SSB CB frequencies, AM/FM, and NOAA weather and alert bands.

Our custom Teraflex Jeep mount kits include this stud with a cable.OptionsThis antenna is available in 4or 5foot lengths on this product page. 2and 3foot lengths are also available but are in separate product pages due to oversized shipping. There are several color options available including black, white, blue, red, green, yellow, pink, and USA (striped red, white and blue with white stars). The best thing is to remember that taller antennas tend to perform better.SpringsSprings are an optional accessory for the Firestik II antenna. We recommend one in most cases. That can protect your antenna if you hit a low hanging branch or garage entrance. A medium spring like the SS3M is recommended for 2-3 foot Firestik II antennas. A heavy spring like the SS3H is recommended for 3-5 foot antennas.CoaxFirestik recommends an 18 foot coax with their antennas. This will help you achieve a lower SWR when tuning the antenna. Always remember to wind any extra coax in a wide figure 8, not a tight coil.Tune your AntennaAll CB radio antennas need to be tuned. The Firestik 2 is no different. The bare hands tunable tip makes the process much simpler, though.
