The message is titled 102" mobile antenna. It should ring a bell about
being
a MOBILE. That should ring another bell that makes you think it's for a
vehicle.
Suggestions were expected from people who have had experience with these,
or
can say something about these type of antenna.

Is it that hard to understand?

But ok, I'll explain a little further.
I'm installing a cb radio in my jeep, and I will be in very remote areas,
therefore I considered the full quarter length whip.

Any suggestions on what antenna to get?

Thank you,

Eric

Yes, they exist. How's that?

I'll probably go for the steel one. I'm trying to decide if a telescopic one
is a good idea or not.

Thanks

Telescopic is a very, very bad choice for anything
that bangs into tree branches or is exposed to
moisture, particularly salt water.

I had bad luck with fiberglass whips. The wire inside
was either too small for amateur-level (100W) transmitters
or had a splice or kink in it. I burned the wire in two
inside the fiberglass - black spot on the outside shell
and very intermittent operation.

I have had good luck with the garden-variety, stainless-
steel whips available from CB shops. If they get dinged-
up or bent, it's just a matter of a little pressure with
both hands and a knee to straighten them out. Besides,
the funkier they look, the more off-road you look. And
they can take kilowatts of power.

If you can't find stainless-steel whips locally, order
several (they're cheap here in Phoenix, about $18 each)
and have them UPS'ed over. That way you'll have spares.

I got a stainless steel 102" whip (one piece) at radio shack, for about $15.
Will see how it works...
Thanks for all the replies and sorry for the multiple replies from my part,
my provider was timing out and I tried a few times...

Later,

Eric
