Perfect example.

errr i don't know what to say.......................maybe .....can only happen in the USA......maybe not, i know many in the UK telling me how good the a99 was with 9.9db gain!!!!!
BUT if i was going to have antenna art on my land rover....... maybe a 5 feet sigma 4
will look cool
 
i wonder why there are so many machinist making CB antennas ..... but very very very few antenna designers making them or working with a machinist to produce them . fortunately its not difficult to make something work on the chicken band . but those stargun beams just scream WTF :LOL::LOL::LOL:

id put money on homerbb's homebrew mobiles out performing most of the stargun stuff .

STARGUN TM

FACTS

1 All units made with cnc machine quality using 100% virgin material.

2 Stainless, brass, bronze, aluminum make up the metal content.

3 All coils are stainless tubing ¼” or 3/8” using uhmw.

4 Nine different coils ranging up to 125 kw.

5 Base matching devices use delrin, teflon, alumina silicate, hot rod.

6 The first and only horizontal and vertical modular antenna.

7 The first and still only mobile beam from 2 to 28 element.

8 No 1 fighting sticks in the completion world.

9 The only horizontal and vertical full wave ever made.

10 The highest db and bandwidth ever tested by NASA.

11 The world shortest (less than 7”) horizontal and vertical.

12 The only antenna product made with a serial number.

13 The worlds strongest and most durable antenna product.

14 The only real lifetime antenna product on the market.

15 The only antenna that defies the radio handbook theory.

16 The only low noise and longest range antenna in the world.

17 All units are assembled and tested before shipment.

18 Stargun does not false advertise like most others, and always extend
a challenge to all worthy to accept.

19 Now you have tried the rest so now own the best.

The highest db and bandwidth ever tested by NASA. ?
Really? I mean ReallY?? I am like....Like Like Really?

Well Ok, This Is how you set the SWR:

(again copy and paste from the web site)

STARGUNTM

Due to the modular design the STARGUN offers many models,
choose the exact parts to assemble the model you desire.

Before installing STARGUN make sure current system is ok.

Install STARGUN and re-evaluate. A noticeable increase of 3db
should be on "S" meter.

Check swr/reflect, if high, raise stinger, if reading increases then
lower stinger, cut increments of 1" to lower meter. Turn calibrate
knob on meter fully clockwise and continue with up/down stinger.

Swr and reflection are two different parameters. You must decide
which one you are dealing with before cutting too much stinger
and later realize you was only tricking your meter and learn you
went the wrong way.

While setting the system look for a dip on the meter, it the reading
is still high, then you are dealing with reflection. Make sure coil
and other objects do not work against each other. Think of a
periscope coming up from underneath the water to see down range.

In order to locate a high reflect, for swr only means setting the
antenna to the operating frequency, start with cable, high quality
and rated for your need, make sure the center hole on mount is huge
(larger the better). How close will you put your finger to say 1 kv.

Cable lengths are not supposed to be considered when setting
system, however I know you have to use at least 1'and to be fair
with the formula it would be wise to consider when needing longer
runs.

After all is well, check performance, enough said! Gain multifactors
f/r ratio, rf power generated, bandwidth, in the STARGUN are "the
industry standard".


While setting the system look for a dip on the meter, it the reading
is still high, then you are dealing with reflection. Make sure coil
and other objects do not work against each other. Think of a
periscope coming up from underneath the water to see down range.
Periscope??
Underwater??
I do not understand??

My head hurts after reading that.

sorry .... im a post whore and couldn't resist ...... :LOL:

1 All units made with cnc machine quality using 100% virgin material.
i didnt think any antenna material has had sex .

2 Stainless, brass, bronze, aluminum make up the metal content.
mixing different metals invites oxidation

4 Nine different coils ranging up to 125 kw
thats important to about %.ooo1 of potiental users

5 Base matching devices use delrin, teflon, alumina silicate, hot rod.
delrin and teflon are not matching materials , they are insulators . what is hotrod ?

6 The first and only horizontal and vertical modular antenna.
to quote ASW and the miz .... really ?

7 The first and still only mobile beam from 2 to 28 element.
he needs to learn about beam element spacing

8 No 1 fighting sticks in the completion world.
i talk with my antennas , i dont fight with them

9 The only horizontal and vertical full wave ever made.
should be good for talking to airplanes and helicopters over head

10 The highest db and bandwidth ever tested by NASA.
im with ASW here ..... when did nasa have the time or desire to test a cb antenna

11 The world shortest (less than 7”) horizontal and vertical.

12 The only antenna product made with a serial number.
i'll have to go put a "1" on my booty 4 to invalidate his claim (y)

13 The worlds strongest and most durable antenna product.

14 The only real lifetime antenna product on the market.
kale offers a LTW on his predator 10k antennas

15 The only antenna that defies the radio handbook theory.
lots of them do , that's why they make crazy claims to sell them

16 The only low noise and longest range antenna in the world.
he compared it to every other antenna in the world ? i still got my money on homerbb (y)

17 All units are assembled and tested before shipment.
so the stinger is already in and tuned for my vehicle ?

18 Stargun does not false advertise like most others, and always extend
a challenge to all worthy to accept.
i agree , they seem to go above and beyond in the false claim dept.
19 Now you have tried the rest so now own the best.
not thanks .... ill pass
 
11 The world shortest (less than 7”) horizontal and vertical.
very handy to use as dummy load
13 The worlds strongest and most durable antenna product.
As proved by NASA ......used to support shuttle on take off

You missed 2
I CANNOT GET MY BREATHE
 
I was stopped dead in my tracks by #1. Virgin? I want mine to work like it knows how and for that it needs experience.
