Wilson Little Wil CB Antenna - 36"
[Wilson Little Wil BK]

I purchased the Wilson Little Wil Cb Antenna back in December of 2008. It works flawlessly on my 1988 Toyota Corolla FX Hatchback. Using my Uniden PC66XL CB I have easily reached 5-10 miles and on rare occasions, 15 miles. On a clear evening in February, I once chatted with a fellow in Sydney Australia with the above mentioned combination. He had a Wilson 5000.

I really like my wilson little wil. I've had it for about a month. I use it with my galaxy DX 929 witch is really a good cb. Good compact cb antenna. I wish it had more power. I would recommend this to others.

All over the internet this is recommended as the best of the smaller magnet antennas, and I have to agree. It was easy to install, not so tall so that I don't hit things when mounted on my Mitsubishi Outlander (small crossover SUV), and gives me great range.

I wouldn't recommend any of the smaller magnet or glass-mount antennas over this, they just don't have very good range. I certainly had enough cable without a lot of extra when I came out the back hatch to the roof, tucking the cable under trim to get up to the front of the car.

With the antenna connected to my Cobra 19DX IV with a 3 ft connector cable and my little SWR meter, (that i am leaving connected tucked up behind the dash) the antenna actually had to be raised just a little bit. I ended with 1.3 on channel 1 and 40 and 1.1 on channels 4-36.

Also, I never had an issue with the antenna blowing off even when passing at 75Mph on the interstate.

If height is less of an issue, get the bigger wilson magnet antenna such as the 500. Remember, CB's power is always the same 4 watts so the thing that makes the difference in how far and strong your signal is. This will depend on the length of your antenna. Longer antennas go further with the same power.

I had a height issue with having an antenna on top of my Subaru Outback. I know that the antenna is one of if not the most critical link and if there was an area i could not stimp on, antenna was it.

I work in an ER and have to go through a garage daily, the reason for the height concern. I purcahsed this after doing some research, purchased one and installed it. I installed the whip all the way down, tightened the allen screw and immediately proceeded to SWR tuning with my Uniden PC78XL, without tuning, 1.1 to 1,on all channels! WOW!

I did a radio check around my area and was throwing out 7 miles with excellent modulation, all this without a Peak and Tune on the radio! I used to use a K40 way back when and I must say...for something this compact and cheap, you can't beat it!
