## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the range for a 4 watt cb radio in a truck?**
A: Depends on how clean that frequency (channel) is and how well tuned your radio is. I can reach over 5 miles in certain open areas, sometimes more. This is a good antenna.

**Q: Can this antenna be set up as a base antenna by your home? If so how?**
A: Agree with Tom. This would make a poor base antenna. The Antron 99 is what I run at home and was well worth the money.I have talked skip all over the country with only a 100 watt set up.

**Q: Is this the baby sister, to the old Francis Amazer?**
A: yes that is the longest Francis Amazer you can get now. I could not find the original length one any where. This one does work pretty good though.

**Q: francis,5by5 is to much money,,u can buy at truck stop for 21,00$ or less**
A: No about the same price if you need it now get it at the truck stop or just wait a few day that up to you
