HD2500
(2007.5+) CB Antenna System
SKU: HD09CTCBAT
This is a complete CB antenna kit for the
New Body Style (NBS) 2007.5-2010 Chevrolet/GMC Truck/SUV. The best engineered CB
antenna installs will take advantage of a large metal reflecting ground
plane surface. With this ideal mounting location,
the antenna can use the surface of the cab and hood to ahieve optimum
results. In addition, no one
wants to install an antenna that stands out or looks ugly when
installed. With this new, Cool Tech LLC, "UltraMount", the antenna looks OEM. When
you do not plan to use your antenna, you can simply remove it
and slip on a small rubber boot (included) to really conceal the
mounting location.
Included in each kit is a heavy-duty all stainless steel mount designed
exclusively for the NBS trucks. The mount was designed to last the
lifetime of the truck (hence the stainless steel construction and hardware), achieve a
perfect ground,
and be easy to install for the do-it-yourself owner. Also included is
Firestik's newest, top-of-the-line coax with their patented connectors.
On the antenna bracket end you will have the Firering connector -
enabling us to have a
concealed bracket. On the other end of the coax is a mini-UHF connector
that is almost the same size as the diameter
of the coax itself. The purpose of this is to make routing of the coax
into the cab as easy as possible. Once routed,
you simply thread on a mini-UHF to PL-259 adapter, and you are done. No
soldering is required!
Rounding out the kit, we've also included Firestik's latest Firefly
antenna with an adjustable tuning tip. These antenna have a lot of
flexibility but they will NOT move around in the wind.
The complete, color illustrated instructions will guide you through the
installation process. Installation time is about
30 minutes.
This HD Mount kit is a blend of a superior design with top quality
components.
All aspects of the HD Mount have been carefully engineered for ease
of installation and years of reliable service.
Unique Features:
Stainless Steel Bracket
- Some
vendors offer brackets in less
expensive steel construction with a powder coated finish. The problem
with quality powder coats is that they are a very effective insulator.
Fundamentally, an antenna bracket needs to provide a good conduct to
ground. The HD Mount's all stainless construction combines superior
conductivity
along with proven longevity.
The UltraMount is a
complete kit.
You do not have to shop separately
for a mount, mounting hardware, coax, and antenna and then hope
everything works well together. Some antennas are too heavy for some
mounts and other antennas may be too thin and can "wag" continuously
when your truck is at speed. The HD Mount kit is packaged with one of
FireStik's most recent antennas and has been tested under all
conditions on an NBS truck.
The included Firestik
antenna is a
state-of-the-art 3' fiberglass
shaft antenna with a tunable tip. With the HD Mount kit you can tune
the SWR reading to a very, very low level allowing you to get the
maximum range from your CB.
The best coax & and;
connectors -
Often times, mounting the antenna is only half the battle with
traditional antenna installations. A challenging task is to find a
suitable location to route the antenna wire and to thread it through
sometimes challenging areas. This has been solved with the HD Mount.
On one end of the cable you have FireStik's revolutionary FireRing. On
the opposite end, the coax has a mini-UHF connector. Route the coax
using the supplied instructions (super
easy!) and simply screw on the supplied PL-259 adapter. No Soldering!
Speaking of coax routing
- both the
antenna bracket and the coax
routing are completely concealed. There is a much reduced chance of
vandalism or an unlucky contact with a tree branch, brush or shrub
while 4-wheeling.
Ideal Mounting Location
- The
HD Mount locates the antenna in an ideal, factory-like
location. While it is easy to install/remove the antenna when needed,
the installed appearance is so OEM-like that you will likely just leave
the antenna installed. If/when you decide to remove, it can be
un-screwed in about 5-seconds!
Detailed, highly color-
illustrated
instructions - Each
HD Mount is shipped with detailed, highly
illustrated instructions. Mounting your new antenna and routing the
cable up to your CB should take no more than 30 minutes!
