| Amazon must have sorted out the shipping packaging since the last reviewers commented. I received my antenna in a large box with plenty of padding. The antenna wasn't bent. However, the dimensions of the antenna are wrong... It's much longer than 21 inches, and so I wasn't able to install the antenna on the roof of my truck. Hence I'm giving it 4 stars, rather than 5. I've installed it on my pickup, but at the front of the truck. |
Excellent product

| I recommend to everyone this product since you can use your radio without any signal interference. Great quality and good price. |
Good value

| The antenna seems to work well for what I use it for. I usually turn on my CB when I hit a traffic jam to see what my best options are. My only complaint is that the coax cable could be longer. I've received good clear reception from several miles away. |
An item worth the purchase

| Portable CB antennas just don't perform like those installed on your vehicle and this one is no exception. We get good reception from about a mile away from the vehisle but not much over that distance. The antenna is the one recommnded by Cobra for the portable CB that we have. It holds great to the roof even in high speeds. Very easy to take down and install. |
Shipping packaging needs improvement

I recently ordered two of these antennas and have not yet had the opportunity to set them up on my CB radios for a test run. However, I did want to comment about the packaging for the products which I purchased from Amazon.com. The antennas arrived inside their original Mgf display packs which had been placed inside a narrow rectangular cardboard box with a strip of plastic air bags on either side for packing material. However, this did not prevent the cardboard box from collapsing & bending during shipping, which in turn bent the stainless steel antennas inside their packaging about 20+ degrees. I have spent the last couple of hours trying to straighten the antennas - the stainless steel material is not easy to straighten by hand, and I still am not done working with one of the antennas. It would have been nice if the packaging had been better (and/or the boxes marked as fragile) so this would not have happened. I am confident that these units will preform very well, but am not happy with the shipping - thus the 2 star rating.

Too weak of Mount

I have not used the antenna...because I feel the magnetic mount is TOO WEAK!
I like the size and it might work well, but I may never find out, since it feels like it would just slide off the vehicle.

This is a very poor product! On my first trip, it fell of my car roof at 40 MPH. Not nice.
It is clear that the base is insufficient for an antenna of this length. |

| Just like a lot of you i had the same problem happen to me i got the wrong cb antenna. It upsets a lot that amazon false advertised this item i was looking forward to the 1500 but all i got was a bottom of the line antenna. Before you buy this item please read the reviews and make sure if you going to get this item you'll get the wrong one. |
