Anyone using this 5/8 wave type antenna? It used to be the 1600 and
now it seems they have 2 versions. The NBS 2010 and the Army Big
Stick which is painted camo green. Is the green color the only
difference? I heard that the composites and the manufacturing on it
are better than the A99 and the IMax 2000. Can you offer any advice
on this antenna? I would like to buy it for my cb base station Cobra
29 LTD peaked and tuned very well with a hand held D 104 power mike.
Thanks

Out of the three antennas you listed, the NBS 2010 is the best built.

The ABS 1600 (green) has been discontinued and replaced by the NBS 2010.
I would actually like to buy an ABS 1600 new in the box but have been
unable to find one.

You will need some good coax too. Get Times Microwave LMR-400 or
CableXperts 1318. Do a search on Google to find the website for
CableXperts.
