Predator 10 k Antenna

I have the predator 10k on a 13 cascadia with the 22 inch shaft with a 2 on the swr meter but I've heard the 27 inch shaft is what most use on the new cascadias

 

If you will search this site and most others, they will tell you that running ONE antenna will give better results than running two.

 

This is a "SW" Dual Coil Predator 10K, with a 12" lower shaft...(not my truck) This set-up works perfect tho mounted like this, if this helps....


22" and 27" shafts not available with the dual coil 10K's, or the "Comp-Coil" or the "Bad to the Bone" versions...

 

If you are mounting on a mirror like on the Cascadia, you want your load as high as you can get away from everything. Probably why they are using the 27" shaft. A cheaper way to go is use a 7ft, top loaded antenna like the SkipShooter. The tip will only be at 13ft. Your antenna will be up away from everything in the clear and the longer antenna helps to overcome the lack of a ground plane on these new trucks resulting in lower SWR and better results. "Longer is Better"!

That's a good place online to buy Predator's...So is Clay's Radio Shop...CB City use to also carry all the Predator's and spare parts, but look's like they are liquidating the remaining stock they have, and going out of business... They closed the store front back last year, and from looking at their web site, almost everything they use to carry, is gone! Almost no antenna's left, and maybe only 2 or 3 radios left...so sad.
