Portable CB antennas just dont perform like those installed on your vehicle and this one is no exception. We get good reception from about a mile away from the vehisle but not much over that distance. The antenna is the one recommnded by Cobra for the portable CB that we have. It holds great to the roof even in high speeds. Very easy to take down and install.

Cobra HG A1500 High Gear CB Antenna has an Item model number: HG A1000 and the Cobra HG A1000 High Gear CB Antenna has an Item model number: HG A1500.
So clearly it seems the inventory numbers are erroneously swapped-
Called two weeks ago- no fix and called today. Hopefully its corrected since I cant settle with the lower wattage rated antenna.

I read the reviews and everyone had received the 1000 instead of the
ordered 1500 and I thought surely that problem had been fixed by now.
Bad guess----I received my 1000 instead of the ordered 1500 today 17 Jan.
So it seems that Amazon is making no effort to correct the problem. It
didnt even matter that the shipping order indicated a 1500 and the order
a 1000 was shipped. Dont know yet what to do with it as others have
received the wrong item more than once. This is unlike Amazon.

I ordered the A1500 and received the A1000. I opted not to send it back when I read the other feedback on this page. I didnt want to lose shipping costs and not get reimbursed (as the other fellow did below). Amazon is usually pretty good, not this time, and not on this product.

I recommend to everyone this product since you can use your radio without any signal interference. Great quality and good price.

I ordered the Cobra HG A1500 High Gear CB Antenna. They keep sending the Cobra HG A1000. Now Im stuck with a antenna I did not order nor do I want.

Ordered an antenna the middle of Nov, 05. Received wrong item with in 10 days. I let them aware of problem then I mailed back wrong item. Within 14 days I received duplicate of wrong item. After I emailed them to let them know of problem, I heard nothing. I had to send an ugly email, stating "whats up?". They cancelled my order, then refunded original amount charged to credit card, plus .11 cents. Still fighting for them to reimburse me for my cost to send back 2 wrong items.

Package was full of padding, thanks Amazon. Antenna was perfect, works great.

Amazon must have sorted out the shipping packaging since the last reviewers commented. I received my antenna in a large box with plenty of padding. The antenna wasnt bent. However, the dimensions of the antenna are wrong... Its much longer than 21 inches, and so I wasnt able to install the antenna on the roof of my truck. Hence Im giving it 4 stars, rather than 5. Ive installed it on my pickup, but at the front of the truck.

I recently ordered two of these antennas and have not yet had the opportunity to set them up on my CB radios for a test run. However, I did want to comment about the packaging for the products which I purchased from Amazon.com. The antennas arrived inside their original Mgf display packs which had been placed inside a narrow rectangular cardboard box with a strip of plastic air bags on either side for packing material. However, this did not prevent the cardboard box from collapsing & bending during shipping, which in turn bent the stainless steel antennas inside their packaging about 20+ degrees. I have spent the last couple of hours trying to straighten the antennas - the stainless steel material is not easy to straighten by hand, and I still am not done working with one of the antennas. It would have been nice if the packaging had been better (and/or the boxes marked as fragile) so this would not have happened. I am confident that these units will preform very well, but am not happy with the shipping - thus the 2 star rating.
