How many of you out there have a K40 Antenna on your Radio? I have one and have used mine for well over 15 years. It has been the best CB Antenna ever.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Ive used a K-40 on one of my vehicles for years and havent had any problems. They are a good antenna.
I have found that a Wilson 1000 seems to work a little it better than the K40 on my tests tho.
I use the K-40 on one vehicle cause its easier to do the 1/4 turn twist on/off for my car that parks in the garage, where the Wilson 1000 needs to be unscrewed and takes longer to do.

Had several over the years, all replaced by W1000s and Hustler HQ-27s. I gave away the last K40 last year to a person I don't particularly like....I even paid shipping to CA just to pass it on to the right person.

For some reason; I only used one K40 in my lifetime and it was quite comparable to the 102" steel whip. It "walked the dog and kicked the cats" It was likely the price of them I guess.

I have the lip mount and used it on my old car quite often. Now I have an suv and can't lip mount it on the tailgate...the car behind me would get their eyeball poked out !!! I also have an RS mag mount if I wanna take my cb out for a joy ride.
