I had an Antron back when I was a kid around 1996 and sold it, along with all of the rest of my radio stuff, when I moved for college. I used it for the CB back then and that was what got me interested in Amateur Radio. I then got my Ham ticket in 1997 when I was just 15 years old. I purchased this Antron because last year I purchased a CB to once again use as a base station. I already have various HAM radios so, feeling quite nostalgic, I purchased a CB, with SSB this time as I hadn't had the privilege when I was a kid. I already had a 40 foot antenna mast with a dual band J-Pole mounted on it for 2-meter and 70-cm so I got a cheap CB antenna and stuck up there. Well, that antenna was absolute garbage and I finally decided to do a search to see if anyone had one for sale second hand. I was surprised to see it here on Amazon because I had just assumed they didn't make them anymore. What a wonderful turn of events! The Antron is great and never has SWR problems. It also both gets out there and recieves better than any CB antenna I've used. This particular purchase came with a ground plane kit which I never had when I was a kid and from what I can tell it makes this bad boy all that much better. Speaking of which: The ground plane kit gave me absolutely no problems. The mounting ring's threads were free of any imperfections or burrs and the radials were perfect as well. I did take a brass-wire brush after inspecting the threads just to make sure I didn't miss anything with my ever-aging eyes. The radials screwed right into the ring quite smoothly. I can't say enough good things about this antenna and almost 3 decades later I'm still a huge fan.

Assembly was straight forward ( more on that in a moment). Light weight, and easy to mount and raise. My signal reports are similar to my 30yr old Shakespeare Big Stick. I read many bad reviews about assembly problems. The assembly of the main antenna segments went smooth, the threaded studs of the segments were smooth and tapered well, absolutely no issues with the main antenna. The issues I experienced were with the GPK-1 ground plane kit. Having read the other reviews I prepared ahead and my install of the GPK-1 kit went smooth. In my case the thread issues reported about were with the ground plane radials. I tested the collar with other brands 3/8x24 antennas and they all screwed in smooth and easy, so the collar was fine. I tried to install the GPK-1 radials and immediately noticed issues. It is obvious by looking at the threads on the radials they are sub-par, lacking the taper grind at the start of the treading and having all sorts of nicks and cuts along the threads. To fix this before buggering up the collar, I chased the threads with a grade 8 - 3/8x24 nut until it ran the threads smoothly. Leaving the nut on the threads I lightly chamfered the start of the threads. If you are not handy with a grinder, you can use a file or just skip the taper. Having smoothed the threads, I marked each radial with colored vinyl tape, and marked a hole on the collar with a matching square of tape. I installed the radials I tapered easily and smoothly, the radials I chased but did not taper, did start and install but did not feel smooth and needed a wrench but once installed, they were removed and installed easily the second time. Now my radials are matched to the hole they were installed in initially with the colored tape. If you plan ahead and prep the threads ahead of time you will avoid the cross-thread/gall issues experienced by others and your install will go smooth. Materials needed : Grade 5 or better 3/8x24 bolt and nut or tap and die kit. colored electrical tape or colored markers if you plan on removing your radials before mounting the antenna.

Great antenna. I bought it as I wanted both a 10 and an 11-meter antenna. The SWR is less than 1.5 out of the box across the 11-meter band when the two adjustment nuts are set to the center of the threaded bit on the antenna. It is a bit high at 10 meters, running about 2.5 plus with no adjustment. I can't speak to how easy it will or won't be to tune to 28..4, and I may never try it. I might just get an antenna tuner instead and let it do the job, rather than pulling the antenna down and messing with it. A word or two needs to be said about assembly. I was very hesitant to force the antenna sections together, as several reviews mention stripping the threads. However, it is Amazon, and I could always send it back, so when the antenna tip wouldn't thread in, I put it in a vice and applied some torque to it. It did thread in; it may never come out, but it is in. I had the same issue with the ground plane kit; I had to put them in a vice to get them to tighten down.

First of I must say it seems to be well built and functions quite well but as seen in the photo there's some solder that I had to deal with before I could assemble it. The SWR is at 1 on both ends of the CB spectrum wich is excellent. So good I adjusted it some just to make sure my meter wasn't broke! If i didn't have to deal with the solder job it would be 5 stars all day.
