For Sale - Firestik Antenna Spring and 2ft. Wilson CB Antenna

[dudeinanxj]

Firestik - SS3M - Stainless Steel Spring (Medium Duty)
According to Firestik, every antenna should have a spring. Springs protect the antenna, mount and vehicle. This spring is made from long lasting, top grade electro-polished stainless steel. The upper and lower inserts are made of chrome-plated machine brass and have standard 3/8"-24 threads to fit all Firestik antennas, mounts and accessories.
Technical Specs:

* Works with 3/8x24" Antennas up to 2-3'
* 3/8x24" (M) Thread on Bottom
* Height: 3"
* Diameter: 0.8"
* Material: Stainless Steel

Adjustable tip for fine tuning SWR & resonant frequency
Exclusive impedance matching transformer lead
3/8" fiberglass rod for heavy duty performance
Fully linear top loaded for maximum transfer of power out of antenna ( better than helical winding )
Spaced windings to reduce dielectric heat loss
18 gauge silver plated wire to reduce resistive losses
PVC protective covering around antenna on FGT
Static reducing weather cap
3/8" X 24" standard threaded mounting
Weather Channel Ready
2ft. Long

I didn't need the "transformer lead wire" so I cut it off. I did re-attach the wire in case you need it in your application.

Here's and explanation of the "transformer lead wire":

1. What is that wire at the bottom?
Wilson's exclusive impedance matching transformer is connected through the external wire at the bottom of the FGT and Flex series of antennas. It is NOT a "ground wire" to increase the ground of the antenna, although using the lead does make the antenna DC ground. It is used when you are not able to get below a 2.0:1 SWR even after tuning. This generally indicates a mismatch of impedance between the coax and the antenna. This can be caused by poor ground but is generally attributed to the mounting location. It re-inserts 25 ohms impedance at the antenna feed point and brings the system back to the 50 ohms required. It is not a tunable device, therefore it is not fooling the radio into thinking the system is matched. It is actually matching the antenna and feed point to the required 50 ohms impedance for the coaxial cable. The most often time it will be used is when the antenna is mounted on the top of tool box in the bed of a pick-up, or on the passenger side of a tractor using co-phased antennas.

I also have a 9ft. coax cable and stud mount to go along with it.
