Got this for a neighbor who was looking for a cheap, temporary antenna for a drive across the country. It served its purpose, and couldn't beat the price.

I bought the Midlad antenna model 18-2442 to go with the Midland CB radio. I had to search it out, because there was a statement that customers were purchasing a cobra antenna for the radio. It came, and I hooked it up and I was pleased at the...
