President Electronics New Virginia (Formerly Called New York UP) Magnetic Mount CB Radio Antenna

Every big Antenna works better then it when tuned. When are the big dogs even turned correctly??? This is just stick on the car. screw the plug into the radio and the SWR is less then 1.3 across the band. Talk 6 miles with 4 watts is doable without going to hell for lying. Can listen to locals without skip over washing them as the big dog, big ears antennas do. It also likes 162 MHz weather stations. Only negative is the 10 year warranty that have to collected in Barcelona, Spain.

Bought this for my bro-in-law for Christmas 2021. (Too bad that I cant seem to get one for 2022.) It was pretty much plug & play and worked about as well as those old 20 Center-Load CB antennas of over 30 years ago. However, that very light-duty, flimsy, RG-174 coax cable will have to be dealt with sooner, or later. Do not do hard 90 degree bends, if you can help it. Best, to wrap plastic tape where coax comes into rear of PL-259 connector and where the coax comes-in at the base of the magnet mount antenna, as a stress relief. Still, for what it is, from 1 to 10 miles between mobiles, and about 15 miles from base to mobile, isnt too bad at all.

The cord was too short to mount at the rear roof of my SUV, so I had to order a PL-259 Male to SO-239 Female cord to wire up the CB at the front. SWR at Ch 1 is around 1, 1.5 at Ch 40, and around 1 at Ch 19. Connections at PL259/SO239 are snug without issues. Receive seems good so far, but very condition dependent. I ran my usual course in the city where I do my GMRS tests and got the typical 1/2 mile to 1 mile range Ive read from other reviews. Ill reserve judgment on range until after I get some interstate miles on this one. I mounted the antenna at the back right corner of my Jeep Liberty. The magnet is very strong and can be difficult to remove, but thats a good thing. I was worried about how loose the antenna might be at the swivel point, but there are rigid lock points that hopefully wont wear out over time. The height should be fine, but I am going to watch it around low limbs and parking garages. Im satisfied so far, except for the cable length issue.

I feel that the antenna its over priced its look cheap the cable is to short from the Radio to where we want to mount it plus is not putting out. Please for the money I spent on this antenna for a few dollars more I should bought a whip antenna tune it up and more on...lucky I had a old radio shack whip antenna and Im getting more power plus more miles getting out...

This antenna really surprised me. It came pre tuned and works better then my old k30. Its great for entering garages with out the wack wack wack of longer antennas. It looks like a factory item on my Toyota Tundra.

Understandably I was disappointed upon opening the package and saw that the rubber footing/pad thats supposed to protect your vehicle was ripped right out of the box. It looked as if it was repackaged and then resent out to a new buyer...Unfortunately, that new buyer is yours truly. The device still works however and is simple to use but now Im worried its going to scratch my 2013 Cadillac CTS Coupe...And that I can not have. ...Guess I wont be using this antenna anytime soon until I figure out a way to keep it from scratching my vehicles paint.

Easy install, strong magnet, added a coax extension of 10. SWR is 1.4 on 1 and 40. Picks up 3 to 7 miles on highway based on terrain. Picks up skip, works well

I got this antenna for a Mazda 3. My wife didn’t like how the Wilson looked on top. Put it on top and hooked it up to Ronald and easy as that it was a 1.0, 1.3, 1.0. I don’t think you can ask for more than that. Did a radio check which I figured would be pointless from my driveway because I live in the boonies and to my surprise I got a load and clear response. The part I wasn’t happy about was UPS shipping. Took 3 days of being out for delivery till they finally decided to drop it off. I wish Amazon gave the option to choose shipping or filter out UPS shippers. Overall was worth the wait because it works far better than I had anticipated.

No problems at all with this antenna. 1.1/1 out of the box. I have it matched up with a President Bill CB. Great setup for moving from vehicle to vehicle and to pack along for vacations. Thin coax makes for easy routing from the roof/trunk to the passenger compartment. You’ll be very satisfied with this purchase.

This antenna was the answer I needed for mounting a CB antenna on a newer SUV. The appearance is clean - not gawdy or obtrusive. The magnet is strong, and the antenna angle is somewhat adjustable. The antenna comes pre-tuned, which I confirmed with a SWR meter. This is a great option for a magnetic mount CB antenna!
