    Well I don't know who is on facebook but Firestick doesn't list an antenna specifically for a Freightliner that I can find on their web-site.

    I looked for the 7 footer too, never found it, I like my Predator, it's doing pretty good, plus I never liked the looks of fiberglass antanae

    I found the 7fter easy enough, but not one that said anything about being for a Freightliner.

    Predators look awesome, but aluminum puts more static in your receive.

    I guarantee that will outperform any Predator 10k for that particular application.

    You wouldn't notice the extra static unless Mark Sherman tuned your receive. The amount of extra noise falls well below the threshold of noise that 99% of technicians are capable of achieving.

    It works for me, I'm an amateur radio person.
    I may start a club, AMClub.com it is and I'm the Vice President,
    I don't know where that link will take you. Beware

    I tried a Wilson 2000 on an extended shaft like that. If I remember correctly the SWR was decent and it talked pretty good, but I had used a steel rod for test purposes (about 42?.. inches in length) and just never got around to getting one in stainless before I found out how good the 7ft top loaded fiberglass whip worked.
