(Review excepts of the Wilson 1000 and 5000 Magnet Mount antennas posted with permission from CBRadioMagazine.com. To read the full review, please visit www.cbradiomagazine.com.)

The antenna is put together very well and the magnetic base is easily strong enough to hold the antenna to any vehicle with a metal body. The thing I love about these antennas is that they are so easy to set up. All you need to do is slap the antenna on the roof of your car, route the coax to the radio and plug it in, and then do some minor tuning to achieve a good SWR. In most cases you can be up and running with a SWR of 1.2 or so within about 10 minutes.

As far as performance, these antennas aren’t your average magnet mount. They really have excellent gain and great transmit properties. Other stations often will tell me that my Wilson 1000 paired with a President HR2510 radio makes me sound like I’m talking on a strong base station. The antenna has allowed me to make many DX contacts and talking local is never a problem.

Either of these antennas (Wilson 1000 or 5000) are a solid choice if a solid mount antenna is not going to work for you. In any case the Wilson 1000 and Wilson 5000 antennas offer excellent performance in a small and easy to mount package. I’ve always been able to get a SWR under 1.5 with either antenna and never had any problems with failure or defects.

Tough Antenna!

 Review by Floor Walker In Da Mag
Overall Rating
I bought the Wilson 1000 magnet mount after my puck mount went bad! Let me tell you this, it has an easy to tune whip with a powerful magnet. I have been running this Wilson for four days now and shoot skip daily and it receives and transmits great! I was driving last night (July 4th,2009) and was on a country street when a car forced me to go under a tree branch that was low. It hit my whip and I thought it had damaged or knocked off the antenna. When I stopped to check it, it was in the same place I put it with no damage at all! Very impressive, very sturdy and still out performing my Stargun, K40 Heli-Coil and Monkey made I had on the puck mount! Bravo Zulu (Navy term for well done!)

I recommend this Wilson 1000 without any delay! A must for those who have limited room to cut or drill mounts in their vehicles.

5 Star Service & Product

 Review by Richard V
Overall Rating
First of all, I would like to thank the staff at Right Channel Radios for their 5 star service, and continued interest in my two way radio experience. I ordered a Wilson 1000 magnetic mount antenna from RCR's. It arrived without delay, and the packaging was perfect for the almost 5' antenna. After the installation of a Cobra radio, that I had in my stack of radios, I was experiencing some RF problems that were solved by their experienced staff.

The Wilson 1000 Magnetic mount antenna works better than advertised. It has a very strong magnet that holds securely to any flat metal surface.
It makes any little radio sound good, and you won't be an alligator station either. Installed on a 2008 Ford F250 4X4 crew cab.

Easy to install and works great.

 Review by Russell Swanner
Overall Rating
This antenna is awesome. I'm able to get out a lot further and hear folks as far as 10 miles with this antenna. I give it 5 stars for the fact it's easy to install and it's basically tuned for a car. You just have to do some minor tuning to get it set-up properly.

 Review by David N

I would be more then happy to let people know that the antenna that I
bought is great no doubt about it!! The antenna helped on both receive an
transmit. Before I was running a little will antenna - also a great antenna! The
Wilson 1000 mag mount has been a great investment! I will also be buying a roof
mount 1000 soon. Thanks Again David N.

Great product & Service!

 Review by Donald Mowrey
Overall Rating
Just wanted to add I bought my Wilson 1000 mag mount antenna after already owning a Wilson 5000 antenna. Since my radio was a Connex 3300hp without an amp I felt the 1000 would be more than enough. After running it for a couple weeks now, it has turned out to be seemingly as good as the 5000 at least with my current setup. I did have to order the longer whip antenna 66" since I couldn't get the SWR below 1.5 with the stock 62" antenna. I do feel the radio gets out as far and receives as well as with the 5000. Coming from Louisville,KY last week, I could hear several people in the daytime out 15 miles and was talking 10 miles easily in the daytime. I know the conditions were good and feel this is a great setup for any one looking for a magnet mount antenna even running an amp up to around 500 watts. I would definitely buy another and won't hesitate to use Right Channel Radios again. They had super fast shipping and great follow up. Great job!

The Wilson 1000 is a great magnet, probably the stoutest magnet i have used. It works really well with my ham radio. (Posted on April 3, 2012)

The Best !

 Review by Paul W.

The antenna was well packaged, easy to put together, and fast to install. When I checked the SWR with a meter it was already very low. Would buy again in a heartbeat. (Posted on August 10, 2012)

Have an old one, this is my second!

 Review by Hiken Bike
Overall Rating
I haven't used this one yet, but will be mounting on my Pontiac G5 soon. My 15-year old Wilson 1000 is now on my GMC Canyon and used it to great effect on I-79 north of Pittsburgh to Fayetteville, WV. Recently had a good crystal clear 4 mile conversation with truckers on I-80 when I was on a crossing road. I was clear to them and vice versa. Have to watch low tree limbs on my truck because whip is so long (and my truck is a mid-size 2WD!). I have small, compact CB's. The Canyon has an old but never really used Cobra 19 (it's older than my old Wilson). Works fine with antenna. The even tinier Radio Shack CB will go in my car! (Posted on August 20, 2012)
