nice antenna
For right now it's connected to a regular CB radio. Works really good. Hope nothing happens to this one, but I would buy the same one if needs be.

Outstanding performance. P
I do not have an optimal mounting location for an antenna. I live in a 5th floor apartment with a juliete balcony. I mounted the Proton on my balcony railing. The antenna is only one foot from the building's exterior wall. Only the top section of the antenna clears the roofline. I painted the antenna to match the exterior of the building. I am impressed with the performance. My swr reading on a Diawa meter is 1.3 across the 11 meter band. Considering where it is mounting I think that is impressive! I get great signal reports from every contact I make. I have 18 feet of coax and my rig is an RCI 2970N3 with a 50 amp power supply.To sum it up, I couldn't be happier with the antenna!

Works but looks pretty wonky looking
Antenna works like it should but when put together it definitely isn't straight. A little disappointed with how it looks but I guess I'm happy with the way it works. Looks like it has Peyronie's disease when there's no wind lol

5 star base antenna!
Wow. Great antenna! Got it up and talking skip same day. 4 Watt Cobra 29, D-104 Mobile mic, 30 amp converter. Best thing about is it the ONLY antenna, base or mobile able to achieve an SWR below 1.0!Hope it lasts...!Unit 477 Low Country

Works but seems noisy
I made a 41 mile contact with it and a Radioddity CS-47 cb radio. It does work and people hear me very well, shockingly well actually but for some reason this antenna is noisy on my end. I was warned about this from some but thought maybe it was just them. Maybe it's just me and them at this point. I will work with some ideas to try and quiet the noise down.

Good quality 1/2 wave antenna
Good quality 1/2 wave antenna. Has over 4 mHz of bandwidth over the range of the top & bottom settings of the tuning ring. Highest tunable resonant frequency was 27.748 mHz but has enough bandwidth to work the 10M band. A good CB antenna that doesn't need radials.

Substandard junk
I purchased this exact antenna from a local area cb radio shop. Upon assembling the antenna I soon realized that number 1. This antenna was poorly manufactured. I threaded the sections together and for the exception of the the top threaded whip that the threads are substandard. They don't fit together tightly. When assembled the sections still had a little play. I was forced to tack weld the sections together to keep it snug. Number 2. This antenna is made outside the country and brought back for sale here. I have that INFORMATION from a very reliable source
