PURPOSE: The LGX-M2 (where X = antenna length in feet) series, "No ground plane" (NGP) CB antenna kits were specifically designed to solve the problems associated with the lack of ground plane (counterpoise). This normally occurs on vehicles constructed of plastic, fiberglass, wood or aluminum. This includes, but is not limited to, motorhomes, boats, automobiles and 18-wheeler trucks. Ground plane problems typically show up in the form of high standing wave ratio (SWR) and poor performance. The isolated ground plane that is built into these kits can also eliminate problems on metal base vehicles that lack the sufficient ground plane for proper operation. This could be due to the size of available ground plane (ATV, bicycle, motorcycle, wheelchair, etc.), or because the operator chooses to mount the antenna in a location that is unable to properly take advantage of available ground plane. These kits utilize a stylish mount made specifically for mounting on the vertical side of a vehicle or structure. Aside from being a NGP kit, the main feature of these kits is that they utilize a lightweight antenna. The antennas are at least 40% lighter than the heavy-duty antenna used in the FGX-648 kits. This offers a more stylish look, while at the same time reducing mount stress that is caused by physical weight and wind load.
