FS Series
CB antennas
Firestik Antenna Company is located in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Since its formation in 1962, the company's has remained focused
on the personal communications market. Firestik has had a lot of
experience there too. At various times in its life, Firestik manufactured
CB radios, test meters, amplifiers, variable frequency oscillators,
RF filters and more. In 1975 all energy was directed into designing
a line of high performance antennas. A strong foundation was laid
and a stable, quality minded company was built upon it. For the
last twenty plus years Firestik kept focused on its mission. You
will benefit from the dedication, care and spirit that Firestik
puts into their products. CB antennas and related accessories is
our product specialty. Honesty, fairness and understanding is our
service specialty. What can we do for you?
Firestik primarily makes antennas and accessories for the mobile
CB market. The company is especially recognized as a leader in
the art of manufacturing high performance wire-wound CB antennas.
Its success has earned it worldwide fame. Firestik products can
be found throughout the United States. They are also sold in Canada,
Mexico, United Kingdom, Western Europe, and several South American
countries. Aside from specializing in CB antennas and accessories,
Firestik's years of antenna know-how can be found in antennas made
for scanners, two and ten meter amateur equipment, and specialty
antennas such as those used for geoseismic exploration.
The Firestik name is synonymous with quality and performance.
Having built and sold in excess of 5,000,000 (5 million) antennas
should speak for itself. Those who are new to CB should seize the
opportunity to start out with the best money can buy. As for you
seasoned CB'ers, if you're not using a Firestik, you really don't
know what you're missing. You might find a less expensive antenna,
but we don't think you will ever find one better.

Series CB antennas |
BRIEF:
Easy-tune 'bare-hands tunable tip', High-performance coil design, Rugged solid-fiberglass
core, High power handling
DETAIL:
If you took the proven features and performance of the famous "KW"
series antennas and added a unique tuning mechanism to the top,
you would own the equivalent of a Firestik II, "FS" Series
antenna. Aside from the ease of tuning, the patented design broadens
the antennas bandwidth to keep SWR lower over more channels. The
upper coil extension also increases the power handling capability
of the antenna. All "FS" 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 "FS" antennas
should be fine-tuned (SWR) in their final mounting location. If
you have ever tuned a non-tunable tip antenna, you will have a
real appreciation for the "FS" antennas. To tune a "FS" antenna,
you just pop-of the tip and turn the adjustment screw up or down
as needed. All "FS" antennas exceed the requirements
of any CB radio, new or old. Aside from the hi-performance 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.
The "FS" 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 shaft. Each is wound with heavy
insulated copper wire to prevent the oxidation and shorted windings
often found on non-Firestik antennas. The tunable tip mechanism
is made from rust-proof brass and has a rubber o-ring to hold
the adjuster in place after tuning. Our 3/8"-24 threaded
base has a tapered contact point that works especially well with
Firestik mounts and accessories. The tapered "lug-nut" effect
transfers stress away from the threads and reduces the possibility
of vibration induced loosening of the antenna in its mount. Each
antenna is covered with a static reducing, water-tight sleeve
containing UV and pigment stabilizers. For peek performance we
recommend that you use an 18-foot coaxial cable with these antennas.
All "FS" series
antennas are factory bench tested for resonant frequency and
overall quality. They are available in four (4) standard colors
.. Black or White with a red tip, or Red or Blue with a white
tip.
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.
