“Simple, easy and efficient.”
Product Choice
I’ve used Larson antennas starting back in the 1980’s. My vehicles only use Larsen antennas from VHF and higher to this day.
Company Choice
Your store was recommended by Larsen. Doesn’t get much better than that!

“I had questions about my antenna purchase. You are not able to speak w/a human. I sent an e-mail to their “tech support”, no response. After doing my own research I placed an order. Since they provide NO support, if my purchase doesn’t meet my needs it will be returned. It’s a shame companies like this don’t care about support. Oh well, we’ll see. Zero chance I’d recommend them… Chad”
