The ultra-compact Firestik Designer Series antennas enhance the look of any vehicle. Great for owners of newer cars and trucks who do not want the longer antennas mounted on their vehicles. Amazingly high performance and low SWR from a sleek, low-profile, 1/4 wave base loaded antenna. Compatible with ALL CB radios. Rated up to 30 Watts. Also, receives NOAA emergency weather alert signal and national weather channels on CB's with these features.
The DS-14 has a built-in lay down option. You just loosen the coil/whip assembly a turn and the ball allows the antenna to be laid over. This is a great feature for low clearance situations. The upper assembly can even be easily removed for those occasional trips through the car wash. You can mount it on the roof, trunk, top of fender or on side of a vehicle with up to 70 degrees of tilt from vertical. If surface mounting, a 7/16" (11mm) hole is required. May also be mounted on any Firestik mount with the standard 1/2" hole. Includes 15ft (4.6m) coaxial cable lead that is terminated with a standard PL-259 for instant connection to your CB radio. Approximately 14" (356mm) tall.
The DS14 antenna may be used with handheld CB's that have a BNC antenna connector. Just use our AR-3 PL-259 to BNC adapter or K-AR3 light weight cable extension designed specifically for that task.
This antenna style is also available in a no-ground-plane version for non-metallic vehicles such as fiberglass RV's. Click here to go to the DS14-FG page.

Technical Note: There has been two versions of the DS14 antenna. The original version utilized a split-ball assembly between the antenna coil and the mounting base. The newer version has a lower profile and instead of loosening a wingnut or keylock thru-bolt, the coil is turned counter-clockwise to loosen the tension against the base which allows the antenna to move from the vertical plane to the horizontal plane.
