Firestik DS 14-FG
Utilizes
a built-in ball and socket that allows the user to hand loosen
the loading coil and either adjust the antennas angle or lay
it down for storage. More Info
PURPOSE:
The DS14-FG "No ground plane" (NGP) CB antenna kit was specifically
designed to solve the lack of ground plane (counterpoise) problems
found on vehicles constructed of plastic, fiberglass, wood or
aluminum. This includes, but is not limited to, motorcycles,
motor homes, boats, automobiles and 18-wheeler trucks. Ground
plane problems typically show up in the form of high standing
wave ratio (SWR) and poor performance. The isolated ground plane
that is built into this kit will also eliminate problems on metal
base vehicles that lack the sufficient ground plane for proper
operation. This could be due to the size of available ground
plane (ATV, bicycle, motorcycle, wheelchair, etc.), or because
the operator chooses to mount the antenna in a location that
is unable too properly take advantage of available ground plane.

Firestik FG-648
PURPOSE: The FG-648 series, "No ground plane" (NGP) CB antenna kits were specifically designed to solve the problems associated with the lack of ground plane (counterpoise). This normally occurs on vehicles constructed of plastic, fiberglass, wood or aluminum. This includes, but is not limited to, motor homes, boats, automobiles and 18-wheeler trucks. Ground plane problems typically show up in the form of high standing wave ratio (SWR) and poor performance. The isolated ground plane that is built into the FG-648 series kits can also eliminate problems on metal base vehicles that lack the sufficient ground plane for proper operation. This could be due to the size of available ground plane (ATV, bicycle, motorcycle, wheelchair, etc.), or because the operator chooses to mount the antenna in a location that is unable too properly take advantage of available ground plane. The versatility of these kits goes way beyond the normal expected uses of a typical mobile antenna kit. Aside from vehicular installations, these kits can be mounted on a pack frame for hunting or Search and Rescue operations. Apartment dwellers can mount them on a balcony railing, or a temporary base station can set up in the forest using a tree for a tower.
