MHz, Linearly Loaded Internally Wound Dual Conductor
Design
Description:
The Driver Extreme 38 Special isn't like most
fiberglass CB whips. Yes, it is smooth and sleek like
some other designs, but that's where the similarity
ends. Unlike most fiberglass CB antennas, the 38
Special's radiating element is internally wound with
TWO wire conductors in parallel. Dual conductors
translate to twice the metal and twice the surface area.
More surface area means more metal to grab an incoming
signal and send a signal out. More metal allows the 38
Special to handle greater power than any other competing
internally wound designs.
Another difference between the 38 Special and other
fiberglass antennas is how those dual conductors are
wound. This antenna is linearly loaded. What does that
mean? It means that the elements are wound consistently
throughout the entire length of the antenna. This antenna
radiates equally from top to bottom. What does that do?
It makes the antenna more forgiving of poor ground planes
due to a lack of metal on the vehicle and of nearfield
reflections when mounted close to an exhaust stack or
other things that typically hinder most designs from
performing optimally. It makes the 38 Special a nearly
universal antenna. Satisfaction guaranteed!
38 Specials are pre-tuned designs to work on almost any
vehicle in almost any mounting location. No mess or fuss
with having to fine tune each antenna for every
installation. Just select the antenna of the proper
height, thread it into the mount and the results speak
for themselves. You will have 40+ channels of coverage
with a SWR that is safe for the radio and low enough to
offer good efficiency. Every Driver Extreme 38 Special
antenna is weather band ready. If there's a NOAA
Weather Band warning being broadcast, you'll hear it.
Last but not least, Driver Extreme has manufactured the
38 Special inside of a solid 3/8" diameter
fiberglass rod at their U.S. facility. There are no other
internally wound pre-tuned antenna that measures up like
the 38 Special does.
The bigger diameter of the 38 Special gives you more
protection for the radiating elements. This means less
potential for breakage and greater long lasting
reliability along with increased strength and rigidity
that keeps the antenna standing up straight. This gives
you more consistent tuning and performance as you roll
down the road. When competitor's thinner pre-tuned
designs are bending and lying over, they are also
changing their SWR and altering how they receive and
radiate signal. That bigger diameter helps the 38 Special
keep your signal on target! They aren't swayed that
easy!
