The antenna used in this kit is similar to that which is used on our regular Designer Series DS14 antenna kit. Accordingly, the antennas may only be used with the Firestik NGP cable. The radiating element on this antenna has a series of spring-like coils similar to most cellular phone antennas. Due to the vibrations found on all mobile installations, a multi-wire stranded center conductor is used to prevent breakage. An integrated rubber o-ring on the base seals the mount tightly to the vehicle.
All necessary hardware is supplied with the kit.
This normally occurs on vehicles constructed of plastic, fiberglass, wood or aluminum. The antenna's frequency is altered in order to maintain a desirable center band position when used with the tuned coaxial feedline. Accordingly, these antennas may only be used with the Firestik NGP cable. The black plastic shell has a textured finish to keep it looking nice. All hardware and coax connections are hidden in the inner wall of the vehicle to maintain visual integrity and prevent weather exposure.
