    Changing up my CB antenna setup to something that works better for me.

    - 4' Firestik
    - Firestik SS-3H Stainless Spring
    - Firestik K-1A Quick Release
    - Firestik K4 stud (I believe I'm missing an isolator because of the way I mounted the spring, but I'll include everything I've got)

    I cut the antenna wire to get it out of the truck easier. I was using a Firering on a ditch light mount but I was having issues with the ground corroding on me so I'm got a Lil' Wil magnet mount for the approximately 0 times a year I actually use a CB.

    This setup runs just about $60 on Amazon and just about $66 on Right Channel Radios. A Wilson Lil' Wil is just about $40 on Amazon.

    I'd like to get $35 for the setup. I'm in SE Mass. Thanks!

    Via a CBI ditch bracket using the FireRing cable. I could never get a solid ground on the antenna, so I swapped out to a Wilson magnet mount for the rare times I'll use the CB.
