    i have a mag mount5000 coming off a Phillipine 148GTL running barefoot mounted dead center of the roof on my Jeep G.Cherokee Ltd. right now and i get a good tune through all 40 and up to 60 or 70 but once i get up to 80 or 90 to 100 it jumps up in the 1.4 range but i don't ever transmit outside of the normal 40 since there really aren't that many people in my area that are still on CB anymore.the ones that are on,stay within ssb and am.

    I also run a FB R4 - its been thru quite a bit - great antenna- durable... as mine has been thru alot and no problems. So far my noizy built is my best all around,high quality, talker, tuned awasome. I use the wilson when i know im going into unfriendly antenna areas.

    oh wow,those look pretty heavy duty.and they perform better than the Wilson's?and they are less expensive.i really like the look of those antennas.they look comp-ready.unlike the Wilson's which are just a metal whip,i like the coil on these ones.

    I hate the wilson..Im forced to use the Wilson 5k when i go into nyc for work... Southern State has low bridges.. Joe.. Jessies Stargun is the perfect size. Anything in the works for a lower ant that can beat this wilson 5k?

    Thanks

    WOW that does suck Lumpy.i hope it all works out for you rather quickly.i know how long the insurance process can take.

    anyways,i have a Wilson5000 hooked up to my Philly Cobra 148GTL amped with a 2pill(Toshibe SC-2879's)Magnum2000 that pushes 260peak(haven't really used it in the 8months i've had it but will today now i have it back from the shop)...... anyways,i have used omy 5000 and my 500 and both have tunes almost perfectly,nothing abouve 1.3 from 1to40 and most of the time i can get up to 60with a good tune,and once in a whle up to 70.once i hit 90 and above i am close as hell to 1.6 or so.
    regerdless,i do get a good tune with my mag mount 5000 and also my 5000(Wilson's).
    i have heard that the newer Wilson's are made by a new company(?)or something like that but i have head that the newer ones are cheaper and suck when tuning them on some set-ups and vehicles.i've got a full sized roof on my Jeep Grand Cherokee so maybe it's your car''s grounding/size of the roof,or it could be one of the newer Wilson's that i've heard are generally shitty.good luck either way.

    i had a wilson 1000 once many years ago locked my keys in my car at a nightclub in the middle of nowhere when i finally went to leave early in the am everyone was gone and me and my friend that i was with realized i locked the keys in the car it was a pickup truck so i had to cut my coax and i held it by the whip and swung it into the side window to shatter the window lol it worked good for that but it was winter and cold as hell for the 1.5hr ride home lol
