It's a first class antenna. However, you have to have a really strong mount for it. Also, the wind noise it makes is insane.
i use the SOTT what a great antenna
I’m getting water down into shaft ?
Oops! I clearly screwed up on my recent purchase of the K-1-17 🫤 I purchased it for use on my car but I can’t possibly mount it on the car so I was going to place it on a tow hitch mount style base. Not sure what I can do at this point.
Wilson is NOT WILSON ANYMORE. They sold out a couple of years ago.
Can I use aluminum wire to make a 4ft fiberglass antenna? Thank you
Is there a video showing how to replace the shaft
I like the big big shaft ones
Where can you buy one of these
Iam Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos
nothing about 2 meter wilson antenna
I love it!
Man i cant wait to get my Galaxy 98VHP that I just ordered. I know its going to surpass my expectations. This guy knows what hes doing
Man I just ordered a Galaxy 98 vhp from Clay and I am pumped. Seriously feel like a kid waiting for Christmas
Great explanation! Thank you.
Francis triple quarter wave antennas are great IF you can find a Francis hotrod 5.5 or the larger 8ft cb50 amazer both are great factory pre-tuned antennas made in the USA.
i drive a 2019 Pete 579 with fiberglass shell instead of metal. the specs call for any antenna to be mounted on the back of the sleeper in the center. it's where the stock antenna was. i bought the predator with a 6' whip (seller said it's the only whip that works with the predator). i put it where the stock antenna was but the predator with the whip was about a foot or more above the top of the trailer. trailer is 13'6. got the bearcat 880 tuned and peaked and everything was tits. swr was 1.00. but up to michigan i hit low bridges and it took the whip right off. no damage, just took the whip out of the antenna base. got another identical whip and now am going to have to relocate the entire thing.
Is there one called bad to the bone
When you detach the 1000 or 5000 will you have to re tune the antenna each time you replace it?
i was able to keep the swr below 1
I use the Wilson 5000 magnet mount and run a Uniden 980 SSB
Dan Kinsman ..the wilson 5000 is actually a good magnet mount.....i had a connex 3300hp with a 2pill no name behind it and was heard down in texas from Washington DC....
Well Clay nothing beats the 102" steel whip.
The Stryker SR-A10 center loaded version more powerful than the predator. Because predator can easily catch the water. If we see the stryker SR-A10 center loaded version, then there is a double wall coil cover with pure silver coating. which protect the coil very easily. strykerradios.com/best-cb-antennas/
Lmfao, you really bought into the flashy gimmick of the Stryker. No one, not one fucking professional skip competitor uses that piece of shit A10 Stryker. Open your ears dumbass... predator has no press fittings, zip, zero, no place for water to get in the body. Thanks for the laugh, Schmuck
I currently running an SR-A10 on my truck an it is a disappointment. I will go back to an open coil antenna, predator to be precise.
how does increasing coil losses result in increased gain?
Can we get these antennas for UK CB ? Are they restricted to US CB ? Looks perfect for static mobile or home base use. Looks the part too. Thanks for video.
Mark the antenna is tunable from 26MHz to 29MHz
I have a WIlson 1000 antenna on my jeep wrangler's rear gate. I run a amp and RG8 coax. Any thoughts? Could I do better? Thanks for any incite or advice.
what is the swr at channel 1 and 40?
I am using SR-A10 CB Antenna. Great product, very close to 1:1 SWR on CB! So far, it seems to be a huge improvement, from my Wilson 5000... Which really was pathetic with regards to receive on my Stryker 655.
I have a Predator Bad To The Bone and I only could get the SWR to a 1.2 on Ch 20 and a 1.3 on ch 1-&-40 in my opinion I don't think the antenna is all that great with SWR I could see if there was an amplifier inline and the SWR was a 1.2 to 1.3 then it's acceptable but for a barefoot radio doing 4 to 5 watts and having an SWR at 1.2 to 1.3 that's kind of high for a barefoot radio, But If anybody could point a few thing out to me please let me know.
+xDabighurtx, The SWR is actually the same at 10 watts, 100 watts or 1000 watts. You can't measure the SWR with an amp due to harmonic content produced by the amp itself. An SWR under 1.5 is excellent so it leaves me wondering what you are trying to achieve.
+Clay Thompson I was trying to achieve a flat SWR like a 1.0 or 1.1 Right now I'm only doing 5 watts and the SWR is 1.2 to 1.3 barefoot no amp, Is there anything you can point out that might help lower it down.
+xDabighurtx, The lower the SWR the lower your field strength. In other words, your transmitting distance will be decreased with lower SWR. Your transmitting distance will actually increase with a higher SWR. You should tune the antenna for the lowest SWR reading so you won't damage your radio but don't put to much relevance on the SWR level especially below a 1.5
I'm trying to get it down to a 1.0 - 1.1 but seems not to get there I tried a few things but don't know what else to do.
You need more ground on your vehicle.
so I bought a KW4-B from firestik. my question is how do I make adjustments to the antenna? it doesn't have the adjustment screw in the tip.
Stephanie the difference is the stud mount. The SS194 has a stud mount that requires terminals on the end of the coax cable. The SS194A has a stud mount that requires a screw on connector on the end of the coax cable. Best Regards, Clay
Clay, I checked out your website and I see there is a SS194 mount and another one that is SS194A. I understand that they are both made from stainless steel, but what is the difference? I have a 2009 Dodge 3500 4x4. Thanks
Thank you
Hello Stephanie, We are no longer recommending the quad wrap. We have had quite a few break at the base. Consider the double wrap Tiger. Stake hole pocket mounts offer a clean install. Best Regards, Clay
If I wanted to install a quad wrap antenna on a dodge truck, where should I look and what should I ask for?
get a wilson 1000 or 5000 put the base on top just back from the 3rd brake light and your done...
I have ask everyone for help I have 2002 Chevrolet Impala 4 door family car, I recently purchased Wilson 5000 magnetic mount need help get 62 " steel whip toget match up well with 1.5 or less on 1 to 40 channels!

But wanted know if can cut whip and how much out 62" whip length total be shorter! Plus it has R8X 95 % coax 18 feet type on it to came like that at store I bought from ! know my previous antenna Wilson 1000 had 64 inches whip cut 1/4 " off and ran perfect 1.1 o Channel plus flat on 20 channel , 40 channel flat too had RG 58 U coax 18 feet!

where did u get your fairing done???does it have stereo??? I have 98 ..going to do all the same
Just a quick question , Regarding The CB Antenna Mounting In back of cab with air Farring . What's the best way to mount it , I'm going to use a Wilson 2000 . Should it be above the rear widow . or below the widow , with a standard mount , for the best reception concerning SWR's . Thanks ,
yes kale is a very nice guy we hang out at his antenna shop ever time im in the gr8 state of texas at my cb shop predator is my number one selling antenna when I set his antenna I all ways get a 1:0 are a 1:1 swr google 440 cb shop and give me a call.
I met kale, the maker of the predator antenna and he told me that if I ever have a problem with my predator to give him a call and he will replace any broken parts for free. He looks like a down to earth kinda guy.
This is true. He is a great guy.
What antenna would you recommend for a Uni-body type vehicle that has no frame? Im currently using a 40" (I think) steel whip with a bottom loaded coil with a 4 inch spring and a magnet mount. I connected a wire to the antenna to the body as a ground. little to no swr, but I get a lot of engine feedback.
Does adding the shorter antenna affect the range on the 5000??
JÄG3RMEIST3R no
If you look closer you will notice that I am only turning the base about 20-30% each time I move my wrist. Therefore about 4-5 movements of my hand is actually about 1 revolution.
For a motorhome choose a no ground antenna such as an LG-M2 or an FG648. They don't require ground and typically don't require tuning. The link below will take you to the page. www.claysradioshop.com/citizensband_firestick_no_ground_antennas.htm Regards, Clay
What do you consider the best cb antenna for a class a motor home, fiberglass body? Thanks
Congratulations! Wonderful video. 73 de VA6POP
