Post by Redlight »

Was thinking of buying a set of these and don't know to much about them.The antenna is a Browning BR51 20,000 watts 25-30 MHZ cb antenna.Don't know to much about the whole cb radio thing,I used to just run your basic cobra 29,But recently bought a galaxy 959 with dual mosfet,and want to get my radio out there and was wondering if these would do the trick.

Your wanting to buy a "Set" of them? They usually run around $49-$50 each...They are a "OK" antenna. And will probably handle just about anything you will probably be pushing threw it. But don't expect it to handle anywhere near the amount of watts they advertise!

I ran one before I replaced it with a 108". Worked well enough.

Wouldn't handle 20Kw. Not even in a dream.
