Browning® 10,000-Watt High-Performance 25 MHz to 30 MHz Broad-Band Round-Coil CB Antenna, 63 in. Tall, BR-28

I bought this antenna with the intention of using it as an indoor CB base antenna. I put this antenna on a Tram magnetic antenna base. During tuning the antenna, I also added a antenna spring because the need to add to the length of the antenna for SWR numbers. I put this antenna on a piece of sheet metal of roughly 3X3 feet dimension (a old sheet metal computer side panel), plus 5 radial wires connected with the sheet metal (each radial wire length 6 feet made out of speaker wire). Finally, everything was put into the attic above the second floor of the house. Make a long story short, the SWR number at channel 1 and 40 are respectively 1.2 and 1.0, which are great for use mobile antenna for base station at a great price.

The Browning antenna is an amazing product- you can put a lot of power on it and the transmission holds true. Not only will it give your truck that serious CB look, it also works well for short wave reception. This thing is TALL, keep that in mind when you buy it. Last thing you want to do is rip it off in a drive-thru. I bought the stainless steel CB antenna spring with this so it has more "give" if/when it gets hit. Small item as a CON; the hex wrench the company packed with mine was too big and didn't fit the whip screws. Other than that, this baby is solid and well priced!

Review said he was having trouble getting SWRs down, when he added a spring it was perfect 1.1, Well is was replacing a 3ft power stick that SWR's where all over the place, I removed the power stick mounted the Browning on the aftermarket spring, dropped stinger all the way in, then lifted it a 1/4 inch, locked it in had 1.2 SWR on a AT 6666 cb channel 20, dropped the stinger all the way down got a 1.1 on cb 20 and everything about, 1.3 at the bottom on 25.615 by 26.650 and upwards was back to a 1.1, great talking antenna for skip, Id buy it again...

Buena relación entre calidad y precio, lo recomiendo

Very well made and have only had it about a week as of this writing. Didn't get 1's out the box, more like 1:3 and 1:4 on channel 1 & 40 respectively. Im running LMR240 to a Anytone 6666, but I did achieve 1:1 on 1 and 40 after adding a 3 inch or so spring. Solidly built, looks great and so far seems to perform well( still working out a few kinks) but overall worth the money and delivery wasn't fast but it wasn't slow either. It definitely isn't like the picture, but blends well with my silver truck.

Drivers we know that the cb shops RIP us off cause we want it now, I took a chance with these folks and I'll tell you what, for the same antenna the cb shops in the truck stops charge you $83.00 each. These folks here are on there game, same quality and fast service and they work great, I baught 2 of these for $37.00 each, do the math and dont give in to corporate greed at the truck stops..

A reasonable priced beautiful and compact antenna, the two BR-28's I bought have a very wide bandwidth. Adjustment for good VSWR is simply adjusting the length of the stinger (whip). After I adjusted my stinger the VWSR was under 1.5:1 from 26.5 to 28.5 MHz. Thus I can use it on both 11m CB or 10m Armature mobile. Make sure you have the proper license if required, and approved equipment to transmit. Using the BR-28 in the photo with a MIDLAND 1001WX CB/weather radio.

Works great! Best reception and transmit range I have seen so far. My last antenna was a Little Wil. It worked well, but this one has it beat. Now that I have my ham license I plan on getting another and trimming it down a bit so I can get a good SWR at 10 meters. Plus, it looks cool. So far I have had two cars full of teenagers (for some reason) tell me how "dope" it looks. I believe "dope" = good. Though I admit to not being sure about that.
