I have some serious product complaints, and not ONE of the email contacts on the workman site work anymore. I just recently purchased one of their 'antennas' This is the email i TRIED sending them. If anyone of you have a working email for Jerry, or James over there at workman, let me know.
First, i want to thank you for taking the time to read this. You must be a very busy man, especially this time of year.
I am writing you in regards to your Workman T225 Balcony Antenna. I recently just got back into CB radio and have setup a base station. Everything is in place and all i needed was an Antenna, nothing too large, or noticeable. I had spent a lot of time researching different antenna, different companies and i really spent a lot of time reading what people in chat forums had to say.
So, i decided on the T225, after reading nothing but great reviews from a lot of people, regarding your company, quality product and superb construction.
It arrived yesterday, unpacked it. I started to read the supplied step-by-step instructions. This is where i had trouble.
- Misspelled words throughout the instructions.
- The mounting bracket shown was not the one i received. (have to buy the proper one now)
- The drawn, photo-copied image of the parts were blurred, the sizes were wrong.
- Included with the parts, was a tiny screw. It is not listed on the instructions.
I also noticed on the main body of the antenna the drilled holes for connecting the two aluminum shafts together were off and hardly straight and so rough, i am going to have to file them down just to get a screw in there, so i can connect them together. I still do not know how i am supposed to connect them.
The screw supplied and the one i mentioned above is too large for the holes. Also, if that screw were to be in place, the main body of the antenna will not be straight at all and could pose a high SWR risk, which could damage a radio. Especially for a beginner.
Jerry, my name is Frankie ******* i do not write this to anger you, nor am i angry. I just wanted to bring these things to your attention, so that you may look into fixing them.
I work 45 hours a week, i saved, to afford this antenna +shipping costs. I am not wealthy, i am a working Joe with a one year old son. So having extra money right now is tough.
I hope you can help me out with a better replacement on this antenna.
Yeah, so that's what i wrote, this antenna is garbage and now i don't have any money for another. I knew i should have went with the dipole.
