Wilson 5000 Magnet CB Antenna - 62"
[W5000 MAG-BK]

As a professional installer, when I set this antenna on a vehicle I know it will be a hassle free customer hit. I use a professional analyzer for tuning and with only a slight adjustment these antennas consistently bottom out on SWR readings the way no other antenna does. While they are expensive, they are worth every penny you will spend. I have seen customers spend hundreds on various antennas trying to save money when this one purchase would have solved their problem instantly. Unless you are into the mega serious ultra high wattage competition with several alternators and batteries, this antenna will handle anything you throw at it. The only other antenna to be be in the ballpark would be the 102 inch whip mounted in the middle of your vehicle. The whip length is the key to any antenna. Buy with confidence.

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.

I purchased the Wilson 5000 Magnet Mount CB Antenna from Right Channel Radio's and I was extremely pleased by the service I got! My product was shipped fast and arrived in excellent condition. Also, I received excellent customer service in the form of Right Channel Radios personally contacting me after the sale to ensure the product arrived and to make sure I was completely satisfied with my order. In my opinion you can't find a better company to purchase from and I will be recommending Right Channel Radio's to all my family and friends!

I cannot be more pleased with my purchase of the Uniden PC78 Elite in conjunction with the Wilson 5000 antenna. It lives up to all of my expectations. The Wilson 5000 is a fantastic antenna which I am going to purchase for my personal car's radios. I have no problem transmitting and receiving (on a good day 5-14 miles). I rate the Uniden PC78 and the Wilson 5000 a 5 out of 5. I have yet to see better with a standard CB radio.

The Wilson 5000 is awesome piece of gear and adds to a smaller radio big performance.
I was able to reach out to 9 miles with a small Cobra radio tune of course.
Just a great piece of gear. Recommend this for anyone who doesn't have the money to spend on 10Watt or higher radio. This antenna reaches out to everyone!!
