- Hollow shaft vs. solid shaft. Does it really matter?
Absolutely! The presence of water in the hollow shaft will oxidize and corrode over time. This corrosion causes the load connection of your antenna and shaft to short out and ultimately damages the finals of your radio. When this occurs, the hollow antenna is subject to loss of resonation which is the ability to set at desired frequency.

- Aluminum vs copper. What's the better material for an antenna?
You may think copper because of conductivity, however, a radio frequency current (RFC) is not like an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) which require a conductor to travel distance. Radio frequency needs resonation, a point tuned to receiving and transmitting certain radio frequencies, to travel. Radio frequency does not rely on a conductor and can travel almost infinitely. Also, copper is a very heavy material and is far too heavy for a solid quality antenna on a mobile. In contrast, aluminum is very light weight and durable making it a better choice for an antenna.

- Why buy a Striker Antenna?
We were hoping you would ask! Product, product, product... resonation of frequencies, solid shaft and solid coil construction, finest quality aircraft aluminum material, friendly service center and did I mention the "100% Lifetime Guarantee?" Many competitors offer what they call a "Lifetime Warranty" or "Guarantee," but read the fine print. All that is offered is a "Limited Warranty" which is equivilant to "NO WARRANTY". We know what's important to you and that's why we stand behind our product 100% of the time, unconditionally. If it's broke, we repair or replace it... it's that simple.
