The importance of the stud mount cannot be over stressed! The antenna stud mount acts as a bridge between the antenna and the coaxial feedline. Accordingly, it needs to allow for efficient transfer of your transmitted and received signals to and from the transceiver. If the stud mount doesn't perform that task efficiently you end up with unneeded loss. And if that isn't enough, the stud mount must be strong enough to withstand all of the stress placed upon it from an antenna that is subject to severe wind load and vibration.

Firestik stud mounts have become the standard of the industry. This wasn't by accident. It was because users learned to appreciate their outstanding design and material quality. Instead of inexpensive aluminum, FireStik uses chrome plated machine brass. Instead of 9/16" (14mm) hex-stock, FireStik uses 5/8" (16mm) stock. Instead of ABS or inferior plastic insulators, FireStik uses nylon. Instead of cadium plated hardware, FireStik use stainless steel. Furthermore, FireStik's heavy-duty 3/8" center shanks can mean the difference between trouble free use and lost antennas.

The design of the FireRing coax termination requires the 1.25" mounting bolt that is found in the K-4R stud mount. Assembly of a FireRing terminated coaxial cable with the K-4R can be viewed by clicking here.
