I've read more on the Firestik site and am now officially dangerous.
New question ...
I see their antennae range in length and watts rating. A 2 foot antenna is rated at 300 watts while a 5 foot antenna is rated at 1000.
If a CB radio transmits a much lower wattage (4 watts, I think), why buy anything over 2' since it's good to 300? Maybe the power rating is meaningless to a non-amplified radio but height is always good regardless of max transmit power?
This is way too much thinking for a Friday night.
