swapped out the 4ft FS Firefly for a 102 whip...

[mr_fx]

just mounted it straight, no spring... checked the swrs, highest I saw was a tick over 1.0, but not quite 1.1 all across the band

my little home tuned Cobra 29 LTD classic got out around 15 miles as the crow flies... I could NOT do that before with the FS Firefly...

plus it just looks cool...

people also say I am talking WAY louder on my mobile

Don't say you're louder by changing antennas.lol

Your signal and audio are read and or received at a greater distance.

you will definitely like the 102.

i run one on occasion for 10 meters on my mobile. excellent match on 10 and 11 meters!

everyone said I would need to extend the antenna with a spring or something... I guess mine is just a freak... it just worked... period

 

[gamegetter]

mine does not need a spring either for a good match on 10 or 11 meters. but it matches the same with or without the spring. go figure............op:

Good antenna and coax is the key to any great station. Now its time to rip and tear. Have some fun.

Yes, what Mack said. It will become a controversial subject discussion. Nothing beats a 102"
