On a side note, what does everyone think of Skipshooter antennas? Thinking about getting one and comparing it against the Firestik.
-
-
Can't use it. I have to put my antenna on the back of the sleeper. No door or mirror mount.
-
I run the Skip Shooter and like it. I doubt you will be able to tell the difference between it and the Firestik.
-
OK. I was just wondering if it might be easier to tune than the cut to tune Firestik 7'

Bob neglected to sell you one of these antennas better suited for your truck. You should see If he would be willing to swap it out with the predator This antenna is 81 inches long which is exactly what your Cascadia needsLast edited: Feb 17, 2016

Bob sells an antenna specifically made for installing on the rear of the sleeper on the Freightliner Cascadia. Its custom made for that application.
slim6596 Thanks this. -
What is it? I now have a Predator I can't use and a 7' Firestik that is showing a 1.9-2.0:1 SWR across the band.

I'm not sure exactly what he calls it but he sells it to all the Walmart drivers in the area and it mounts behind the cab and the coil is about 4 foot higher than the mounting location. It's got a really short whip coming out of the top. Bob will know the one you are talking about because I think he's the one that actually designed it in conjunction with Jerry Cash that owns the machine shop that makes it.
darthanubis Thanks this.
