Detailed product description

The IBA-5 was primarily designed to be used from the inside of a building/structure, such as a CB'er who lives in an apartment or area that restricts the use of outdoor antennas. Other uses may include single family residences, offices, and job-sites. The IBA-5 may also be useful to hunters and campers (on the ground or roof of your RV) to establish a temporary communications center. This antenna is not meant to be a replacement for an outdoor base station antenna. In most cases the IBA-5 will not out-perform an externally mounted antenna so if you seek maximum performance, we recommend that you use an external antenna. This fast/easy complete assembly stands just over 5 feet (1.5m) tall. 'Bare-hands tunable tip' antenna (rated at 1000 watts). Partially pre-assembled base hub assembly. Four 30" (76cm) radials. 18' of RG-58A/U Fire-Flex coax cable. Complete assembly instructions are included. FireStik also includes a couple of extra tuning screws that can be used in situations. where SWR indicates insufficient ground plane.- SKU: CBDST0808

Does What it Says

This is a small CB antenna shaped like a ground plane, but all elements are shorter. The vertical is helical wind, and the planes are wide thick metal. It is designed for convenience and portability, and it is. Range is, as you would expect, quite limited. SWR is a little tricky to set. But if you want clear, short-range, portable CB, this is an EXCELLENT choice!

This review is meant to be neutral on the product. Indoor antenna usage always has some challenges and the design of this antenna and its placement inside a structure will be challenging. It performed satisfactory in our testing. Obtaining reasonable VSWR readings took some effort by a combination of tuning the antenna, repositioning and use of a 1:1 balun. TX/RX testing also rated satisfactory. If you live in an apartment or have limited attic space for an indoor antenna this will serve although there are better options available.
