Hello everyone, I just recently purchased a radioshack antenna and soon to buy a Midland 1001z cb radio. I was wondering if anyone has either one of these products and if they have good or bad remarks about them. The Antenna is SKU # 2100989

I was reading online about it and people have been saying the magnet is terrible and falls off anywhere above 45mph+ However I've been on the Highway ((70-75..... I got a somewhat heavy foot )) and I haven't experience any problems... in again mine is only two days old. Now a buddy of mine is saying mine is the newer model of the one their saying is bad, because my is Fiberglass and has a coax coat or something, and should be better. Anyone can verify this?

And the cb radio I'm basically sold on, I think it's a good match for what I want, something not pricey, gets the job done, and doesn't break easily. If anyone can help me with my current setup that'll be very helpful! Thanks in advance!

 

heres a bump for ya.....10-4 good buddy.

 

Not gonna talk bad about equipment I have not had experience with, but when you get your radio installed, please check the swr on that antenna. If you cannot get it below 1.5, return it and get a wilson 1000 or a k-40. Always check and adjust for swr no matter what tpye of antenna you use. I have just had bad experiences with radio shack antennas. You might do better though, so go ahead and give it a try.
