Francis Pre-Tuned CB Antenna

Low SWR Reading

I installed my new Francis pre-tuned antenna without complications. I located the 4' antenna on the driver side between my tailgate and taillight regarding my 2018 Nissan Desert Runner. I know the antenna was delivered pre-tuned but I did have to cut 1/2 inch off the top for very low SWR readings. I used bolt cutters which made the adjustment simple. I installed a heavy duty spring to my antenna due to my trail driving I do. All in all I recommend Francis Antennas for your cb install.

Francis Pre-Tuned Antenna

We bought this antenna on a recommendation from a relative who has been for 40+ years and still is an over the road truck driver. Couldn't be happier, he warned us that it may not get quite the range that a tunable antenna might provide, maybe a mile difference is all, but is plug and play with a whole lot less hassle when setting up your equipment. He was right.

It does what it advirtises.

The cap comes off easily, but that can just be plopped back on. It works well, but a Firestick might be better. I have seen them for cheaper. I do not have any information to validate that claim.
