Pro Stick versus Firestick CB Antennas

Hi, are the Prostick antennas any good, or should I just get the Firestick antenna.

I have used the Firestick before but trying to stretch my upgrade dollars.

Thanks

 

Get a proper NMO antenna from Antennex/Larid/Larsen/Maxrad.

Do you have a picture of how it looks like, mounted?

 

Wilson w5000

 

Look at any police car...

 

I would assume from the Outside.

 

From above. I've had arrestees who could see across the roof before getting inside.

 

Kinda gives a Whole New Meanin to the term Hard Wired.

 

Specifically the Larsen NMO27.

Advantage being: the coax (antenna cable) is out of sight, between the headliner and roof, behind paneling, coming out where you want it; protected from damage. And the performance gains - night and day over anything that's a clamp on.

Closeup of the mounting, as you can see it's through the roof without any dangly bits.



Scale pic using an L bracket type "lip mount", same cable/base as above. The performance here will suffer tremendously when compared with the setup above.
