    They have some decent basic antennas, The Solar con brand is pretty good all around antenna but my advise, spend a little more and opt for a Wilson. For a car (I think that was your application) You can't beat a Wilson 1000 Magnet mount. Mounted square in the center of the roof! if you have a beater car you can get the permanent mount, which you have to drill a big hole in your roof for...but it's clean.

    In my opinion a very good all around antenna. I love them I have had not probs with em. they cost a little more but they're very efficient and look good.

    That site does have an ok selection of Texas Ranger ( the Ranger CB only line) and Connex. all good radios depending on application and cost of course. I like the connex in that array. course the big HP.

    if you really want a magnet mount. i would deff go with the radio shack special! i thoguht it would be horrible at first, but its actually pretty amaizing, i had gotten over 10 miles with it... With out tuning it... since that woulda been a pain, i just recently upgraded, cuz i smashed the wire though

    I have decided to hold off on getting a new antenna. Once I get a new 4 weeler I might go for the dual antenna.

    some people will argue you on that one... a lot of people think, and with good reason dual antennas will more hurt then help you in a 4 wheeler, yeah they look awesome, but they should be at least 9 feet apart.

    well if you read up on firesticks page, they claim they have successfully installed a dual antenna system at 4ft apart, on more than one occasion. i dont remember where on the page, they acknowledge the 9ft thing, but say that it isnt always the case... i guess its a trial and error thing, only problem is the money you might throw away.
