does anyone think a good pair of dual 4ft fiberglass antennas are good? i run mine with a Cobra 29.

first it depends on what you are running them on. and where they are mounted to see if they will even work.
but if you want to be able to talk a few miles your should be ok... if you want to have the best you can have then no.
antennas are the key to any system
You have any suggestions for a good budget antenna? (I know good and budget don't go together but work with me here)
Wilson 5000 mag on the roof
I agree. Either a Wilson 1 or 5000 will do MUCH better. Those 2 antennas will out talk a fiberglass any day. You will immediately notice a boost in both receive Nd transmit on either of those. Remember a stock radio on a good antenna can outalk a tuned radio on a crappy one.
My grandpa always said that. Would a Wilson 500 or Lil will do just as good?
they will work, just not as good as the 5000 but id use the 500 over the 2 fiberglass
Alright thanks for the help fellas!
Hey Caveman I don't know what you are mounting this on, but if you want cheap and better than them fiberglass sticks and you are mounting on a truck you may want to look into a 102 steel whip. that is about as cheap as you can get with performance but I still agress with everyone else the wilson are good antenna's. Also I have did testing on them and a monkey made, fatboy, or something in that range will still out perform a wilson but you will need to drill a hole in roof with them but they are around the same money as the wilson. So in the long run if you don't want to drill a hole in the foof the wilson will be the best route unless you go with the steel whip.
I will probably invest in a Wilson mag mount soon. Their mag mount antenna are more bang for the buck. I've seen alot of reviews for them and they are always good reviews.
