PNI-EXTRA40

The PNI Extra 40 is a highly compact, fiberglass CB (Citizen’s Band) radio antenna designed for vehicles like cars, vans, and minibuses. Manufactured by PNI, it is widely recognized as one of the smallest mobile CB antennas on the market. Core Technical Specifications Height: 44 cm to 45 cm including the magnetic base. Frequency Range: Broadly covers 26–28 MHz (some variants calibrated for 26.8–27.6 MHz).Power Capacity: Handles a maximum applied power of 30W to 50W.Impedance: 50 Ohms. SWR (Standing Wave Ratio): Pre-calibrated from the factory with a minimum SWR of 1.0 to 1.2:1 in the center of the band. Material: Durable fiberglass whip. Key Features Discreet Design: Because of its short height, it looks nearly identical to a standard AM/FM car radio antenna. This makes it a popular choice for drivers who want CB capabilities without a massive, conspicuous steel whip on their roof. Magnetic Mount: It comes equipped with a 90mm magnetic base and a rubber guard, allowing secure, scratch-free placement directly onto the vehicle’s roof or trunk without drilling. Plug-and-Play Installation: The package includes a standard 4-meter RG58 coaxial cable pre-terminated with a PL259 plug. It is pre-tuned at the factory, meaning users can simply screw the whip into the base and plug it into their CB radio. Effective Range: Despite its tiny stature, it offers an average working communication range of 7 kilometers under optimal conditions.
