Road Pal is the performance leader of low cost replacement CB antennas. We created the perfect mixture of cost effective materials, quality workmanship and antenna expertise that you expect from Firestik. If cost is the issue, you don't have to settle for cheap replacements and knock-offs. You still have the option of an affordable Firestik-built antenna at a price that will save you money and fulfill all of the basic requirements of your CB. All "RP" antennas are compatible with autos, trucks, vans, motorcycles and ATV's in a single antenna configuration when metallic ground plane is available. Or, they may be used in dual (co-phased) configuration on any vehicle made from any type of material. Like all CB antennas, the "RP" antennas should be fine-tuned (SWR) in their final mounting location. The loading coil on all "RP" antennas is easily accessible for precise SWR adjustments. All "RP" antennas exceed the requirements of any CB radio, new or old. Aside from the carefully designed loading coil that maximizes the transmit/receive functions of your CB, these top-loaded antennas will also receive the NOAA emergency weather alert and national weather broadcasts for radios with those features.
All "RP" antennas are 100% American made with 100% American materials. To maintain a balance between flexibility and ruggedness, we use a custom blended, glass fiber reinforced tube. Each is wound with double insulated copper wire to prevent the oxidation and shorted windings often found on non-Firestik antennas. Our 3/8"-24 threaded base will fit all Firestik and RoadPal mounts and accessories. Each antenna is covered with a static reducing, water-tight sleeve containing UV and pigment stabilizers. For peek performance we recommend that you use one of our Fire-Flex or RoadPal coaxial cables with these antennas.
All "RP" series antennas are factory bench tested for resonant frequency and overall quality.
And don't forget... ALL antennas, regardless of style or manufacturer, MUST be tuned after installation on the vehicle. Transmitting antennas are not "plug-n-play" devices.
