Firestik KW3-64A9A-B DK 90CM BLACK *FS

FEATURES, FUNCTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS:
◾ High performance CB antenna kits complete with 3 or 4 feet antennas, and 3-way mounting brackets that will allow you to mount the antennas on a vertical or horizontal mirror arm or rail as well as directly to any flat vertical surface.
◾ The kits also includes our dual-18 feet Fire-Flex cophase harness made from top grade RG-59A/U coaxial cable complete with three screw-on PL-259 connections. And, as a bonus for purchasing a complete kit, we throw in 2 FREE stainless steel springs and a FREE microphone hanger.
◾ Co-phased (or dual) antennas are normally chosen for use by vehicle owners that spend much of their time on the interstate highways.
◾ Dual antenna systems create a transmission pattern that has increased field strength directly in front and behind the vehicle. This is especially helpful on vehicles pulling large trailers that tend to shield the antennas radiated energy in one or more directions.
◾ Co-phase antenna systems are also useful on vehicles that are lacking in ground plane (composite materials, etc.) as they use the magnetic field from one another as the RF field counterpoise. However, to work properly the antenna mounts MUST have a good chassis ground and the antennas MUST have unobstructed line-of-site between the top 50% or more of the antennas overall length.
◾ There is also much talk regarding the spacing between the antennas. Many people believe that dual antennas will not work unless they are spaced 1/4 wave length (approx 9feet) apart. While this may be true to the nth degree, it does not mean that they will not work with lesser spacing.
◾ The spacing will have some effect on the radiation pattern but short of testing every installation and weighing the results against a 9 feet spaced installation on the same vehicle, it cannot be assumed that the spacing is better or worse for performance on that particular vehicle. We have seen satisfactory results with antennas spaced as close as 5 feet apart.

TRIM-TO-TUNE:
Firestik KW series is the original Firestik that dates back to 1975, before the tunable tip was invented.
Most people in the CB business believed that this antenna would be made obsolete by the easy to tune tunable tip models.
However, the popularity of the original never went away. Many decades later the sales of Firestik KW-series versus FS-series is still 50/50.

TUNING OF TRIM-TO-TUNE MODELS:
1) Remove cap.
2) With blade/knife make vertical slits into tubing at top of stick (about 1-1,5 cm long).
3) Peel back tubing to expose wire coil.
4) Trim from end of wire, then push wire back into place.
5) Replace cap.
6) Measure again the SWR.
7) Repeat process as needed until antenna is in tune and has good SWR reading.

FACTORY ADVICE NR 1:
These are ground-plane dependent antennas. They require a metallic counterpoise to perform properly. They are not suited for use on non-metallic (composite) verhicles or those with insufficient metal. They can be used to build a base station antenna if a ground-plane is provided. When used with a transmitter (versus a receiver) these antennas should be tested and tuned asross the radios operating frequency. Using an untested, untuned antenna for transmitting can damage the transmitters circuitry.

FACTORY ADVICE NR 2:
Groud-plane dependent antennas require mounting brackets and antenna stud mounts that are grounded to a chassis ground point. Powder coating, paint and or anodized surfaces are insulating coatings and must be removed down to the metal surface where ever a grounding point is required.

◾ And dont forget ... ALL antennas, regardless of style or manufacturer, MUST be tuned after installation on the vehicle. Transmitting antennas are not plug-n-play devices.

PACKING INCLUDES:
