whichever brand you decide to go with, be sure to get it tuned to your cb. if you want to get extra distance, you can buy an amp for them as well.... but i think that 4watts is the legal limit.... i had a buddy with a 25 watter, and he could fry your radio if you keyed at the same time. kinda neat. i used to use firestick whips. but, the antenna is only its best if tuned to the radio.
