Browning BR 51 Antenna

[RLIGHT276]

Was wondering if any one could tell me how good these are.They are Browning BR 51 20,000 watt,25-30 MNZ cb antennas.Was thinking about buying 2 of them but want to see if any one could tell me how good they are.

Why would you need an antenna that is rated for 20,000 watts and how do they know it will hold that since there is no way to test that. And way to many variable to figure that in. And why do you need a wide band antenna when you can only use 27-28 MHZ. I have never figured that out about CB operators you need a good 1/4 wave antenna with good SWR and good grounds and thats all you need but you always want to pay 100's of dollars when all you need is a cheap 1/4 wave Francis or a 102 inch steel or fiberglass whip and some good Coax and good grounds and make sure the SWR's are good and you will talk as far as you can hear and that is all you need. no good to talk 200 miles when you can't hear that far.

The browning's are very good antennas. Well worth the money and they are not as popular as some of the other broad banded coil antennas so you can pick them up pretty cheap.
