    Flimsy and cheap rubber boot ripped one time on car. New President McKinley cb couldnt tune with it. The only positive thing I can say is the magnet is powerful. Much better antennas out there especially at that price.

    Im not sure why there are so many bad reviews. This is not an ideal antenna - and going into the purchase I assumed there would be some drawbacks. For reference, I am an Amateur Extra Ham operator but I also use CB radio. This a compromise antenna - meaning its nowhere near the perfect physical length. Its electrically a 1/4 wave - looks like its wound around a plastic or fiberglass pole, so it needs a good ground plane - IE the center of your roof. I use this on my wifes minivan because she doesnt want a 4-foot firestik or anything like that. This is the closest thing you can get to stealth while having a functioning antenna. Most importantly - out of the box I saw a 1:1 SWR - that is SUPER low for a compromise antenna. Theres no way to tune this, so thats a good number out of the box. That means Im getting the full 4 watts out of my radio (more or less) transmitted out. I replaced a whip antenna on a mag mount (2:1 SWR) with this and Im definitely reaching further distances. Note that this is in the center of a minivan roof - a very large ground plane. Does this beat my firestik or my home CB antenna? Of course not. But for the price it offers a good compromise between form and function and looks like a modern car antenna. Theres really nothing else in this space that compares. If you are looking for something semi-stealth this is really your only usable option.

    A bit pricey for what it is. The antenna tilts about 15 degrees in both directions. Works well for the slopped roof of my van. Pre-adjustment is a big plus

    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 works much better than I expected and it looks great on the car you would never know what type of antenna it is

    The connection cable is too short. If you have a midsize SUV, or plan on running the cable from the trunk you should also get an extension cord.

    I was looking for an antenna that didn’t look out of place on my equinox. This antenna doesn’t draw attention and gets descent reception

    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.

    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.

Compact and discreet, the NEW VIRGINIA antenna easily mounts on any vehicle without any drilling or holes. This low profile antenna has a strong magnetic base, comes pre-tuned, adjustable antenna angles, is weather channel compatible, and guaranteed for 10 years against any manufacturing defects! Recommended for installation on cars, vans, and light duty trucks.
