Customer Reviews

No problems with the shipping packaging
Amazon must have sorted out the shipping packaging since the last reviewers commented. I received my antenna in a large box with plenty of padding. The antenna wasn't bent. However, the dimensions of the antenna are wrong... It's much longer than 21 inches, and so I wasn't able to install the antenna on the roof of my truck. Hence I'm giving it 4 stars, rather than 5. I've installed it on my pickup, but at the front of the truck.

Shipping packaging needs improvement
I recently ordered two of these antennas and have not yet had the opportunity to set them up on my CB radios for a test run. However, I did want to comment about the packaging for the products which I purchased from Amazon.com. The antennas arrived inside their original Mgf display packs which had been placed inside a narrow rectangular cardboard box with a strip of plastic air bags on either side for packing material. However, this did not prevent the cardboard box from collapsing & bending during shipping, which in turn bent the stainless steel antennas inside their packaging about 20+ degrees. I have spent the last couple of hours trying to straighten the antennas - the stainless steel material is not easy to straighten by hand, and I still am not done working with one of the antennas. It would have been nice if the packaging had been better (and/or the boxes marked as fragile) so this would not have happened. I am confident that these units will preform very well, but am not happy with the shipping - thus the 2 star rating.

Cobra Antenna
This is a very poor product! On my first trip, it fell of my car roof at 40 MPH. Not nice.

It is clear that the base is insufficient for an antenna of this length.
