Product Description
PURPOSE: The FGX-648 (where X = antenna length in feet) series, 'No ground plane" (NGP) CB antenna kits were specifically designed to solve the problems associated with the lack of ground plane. This normally occurs on vehicles constructed of plastic, fiberglass, wood or aluminum. Ground plane problems typically show up in the form of high standing wave ratio (SWR) and poor performance. The isolated ground plane that is built into the FGX-648 series kits can also eliminate problems on metal base vehicles that lack the sufficient ground plane for proper operation.
COMPONENT INFORMATION:
ANTENNA: The antennas used in these kits is altered in order to maintain a desirable center band position when used with the tuned coaxial feedline. Accordingly, these antennas may only be used with the Firestik NGP cable. The antenna used in these kits have our patented "no tools required" tunable tip for fast and easy SWR adjustments. The rated wattage for these kits is 100 watts.
COAXIAL FEEDLINE: The seventeen-foot (5.2 M) coaxial cable used in these kits is of the highest quality. We use a multi-wire stranded center conductor to the prevent breakage that can occur with solid center conductor cable. The coaxial feedline serves as a tuned circuit that creates the necessary counterpoise. If a longer cable length is required, the user may add standard RG-58 A/U cable between the radio and system cable, preferably in lengths that are multiples of nine feet. Because it is a tuned circuit, the length cannot be reduced without causing non-repairable damage.
MOUNT, SPRING AND HARDWARE: To compliment the quality of the antenna and feedline, the mount used in these kits is our stainless steel, 3-way 90° angle mount. A stainless steel spring with machined brass ends acts as the coupling between the antenna and the feedline.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Each kit includes a FREE microphone hanger.

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2019
I learned NOT to use an external SWR on testing with this as the SWR came in way high.. thinking the coax being proprietary had something to do with that. After removing external SWR meter things got normal.. I used my Galaxy 929 CB's internal SWR meter..
This was installed on the end of my mobile home (see pic).. No place for a ground plane or big 'base' antenna, so I tried this.. I am happy.

Easy to install and adjust.
Can't quite get it flat across the band but it is near 1:1 in the middle and and at it's worst on the lower and upper ends of the band it's still below 2:1 while being stuck on back of my campers ladder with a little more than 2/3rds of it sticking up above the roof line. (not exactly the best location for any antenna, but, it's the only place I can put it without drilling holes in the camper and still keeping it under 13' off the ground)
It has good receive and transmit characteristics I was making contacts with legal power 35 miles away with no trouble at all. The top loading really helps this antenna radiate. A good compromise when you don't have a ground plane or if due to height considerations you can't run a whip.
Just one note: follow the instructions carefully the coax shield cannot be grounded at the antenna end to anything! The coax has a matching loop at the transmitter end and will only work with this antenna. You can add length if you need to from the transmitter to the match end of the special coax if needed but don't cut the supplied coax it will ruin it. Also the supplied center conductor crimp terminal is kinda wimpy and the reason the kit only got 4 stars instead of 5. I replaced it with one that was heavier during install.
Also I strongly recommend sealing the feed point with good rtv sealant after confirming proper installation to keep out moisture. At first I didn't because it was a hot dry month when I put it in but, a sudden unexpected thunder storm caused the SWR to increase significantly and it didn't go down until it dried out days latter. Now that it's sealed it works perfectly wet or dry.
