Browning?

Well let me lay it out for you so you wont have problem understanding. I and many others have wasted a lot money over the years testing the so called latest and greatest things to come out.

Predator,Browning,Wilson,Stryker,Monkey Made and the 102 steel whip antennas,just to name a few of the more well known antennas on the market. The 102 whip and 10K were always on top in received signal strength from 25 miles away as well as transmitted signal to the receiving station from the same distance - JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS THE SAME does not automatically mean it's going work as same. Take it for what you will but i would not put much stock into what you find on Sparkies website and i will tell you why.

Want to know why a lot of CB shops dont push these (10K) antennas.....do you really want to know why? It's because they cant buy a 10K at dealer cost as cheaply as they can those other cheap copies of the 10K. So there for they cant make as much money off of a 10K as they can on say a Monkey Made. Watch the videos of the CB radios shootouts on YT, 9 out of 10 times it's a 10K.....most of the big boys you hear on the super bowl using a mobile setup..... use 10K's. Most of the truckers you hear really walking tall on ch 19....use 10K's.

In closing...I and many others have used/tried them all but if you want to find out the hard way then by all means,be my guest. If you would rather take the word of someone who will tell you anything to make a buck versus someone who has spent that buck and knows first hand then do what ever you want. It's people like you who keep CB shops in business,people who refuse to listen to experience!

I am done.

I didnt buy them from sparks or any other cb shop and like I said before I paid $42 for the set so if there junk not that big of a deal to me, its when you spend 75-100 dollars on just one and find out its junk then that might be a little upsetting, i am not ready to take that chance. theres a couple other post on this site about the browning and they say there very happy with the performance, Dont know I dont have them setup yet, in my company truck i have a k40 and hate it and that cost me 60 bucks

If you want to run a coil antenna then get a Predator 10K and not a copy of a 10K. They range in price from $75 to $115 depending where you buy it and are worth every penny! I have had friends who have used the Browning and they hated them! They work but not nearly as well as the 10K.

I am just amateur but the TA Commerce City Summit CB shop owner Chuck recommended the Browning BR 79 perhaps because of cost and pairing up with a simple Cobra 29 LTD. I appreciated his help and knowledge. You professionals out there probably own your own CB shop but the Amatera who doesn’t know anything just needs an honest knowledgeable coach. Personally I think Chuck is such a person. He certainly has enough business as evidenced by all the work orders stacked up!

He recommended that you purchase that antenna from him because the profit margin is so high. Wholesale on that antenna is probably $13 and he's probably selling it for 60 or $75 so he's making quite a profit . There's better antennas out there especially if you run around in the snow and ice and salt.
