Firestik FL3-B (Firefly) 3 ft. Tune-able Tip CB Radio Antenna (Black) with Extra Tip Covers
The "FL" Series antennas are the performance leader of lightweight top-loaded CB antennas. Each is approximately 40% lighter than the equivalent length Firestik II antenna. From the perspective of mount stress, the lighter materials and reduced wind ...
Product is easy to install and easy to tuneHowever when you put the cover cap on the SWR goes up to at least 2.0 I have mine tune down to 1.5 to 1 at least which is pretty good however when I place the cover cap over the tuning slug the SWR immediately jumped up to just over 2.0 not quite sure why yet.

The "FL" Series antennas are the performance leader of lightweight top-loaded CB antennas
Each is approximately 40% lighter than the equivalent length Firestik II antenna
From the perspective of mount stress, the lighter materials and reduced wind drag of the "FL" antennas reduces stress by more than 60%
Besides making tuning a snap, the design broadens the antennas bandwidth and increases its power handling capabilities
All "FL" antennas are compatible with autos, trucks, vans, motorcycles and ATV's in a single antenna configuration when metallic ground plane is available
Like all CB antennas, the "FL" antennas should be fine-tuned (SWR) in their final mounting location.
