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

So was worried about it, because you don’t have to tune it. I really gives you a low SWR on the meter.

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.

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

This antenna has a super magnet an works great on the roof of my pickup truck. I park my truck under a carport and height is an issue. I put it on and have left it for about 5 months with no issues. I also purchased it with my President CB radio which extended the warranty of the radio to 5-years. Cant beat that.

The only complaint is the cable is to short. Installed on the roof of an 2006 Toyota Tundra

If you give this antenna anything less than 5 stars it’s because you either don’t know anything about CB (or radio in general) or your setup is all wrong. This antenna is never going to perform as well as a large whip or fiberglass antenna, but you should know that going into it with only 20 inches of antenna. You can create electrical length all you want but physical length is what counts with receiving. So now having said all that, if you either don’t want a large whip antenna for aesthetic reasons or can’t have one because of garages, then this is the antenna for you. I installed this today on my dad’s F150. I’m using it with a President Bill radio and a RM Italy KL203P amplifier. The amp runs about 100ish watts and has a pre-amp, so it does boost the receive a bit. I had a crystal clear conversation today with a guy that was 2.5 miles line of sight. I would say without a pre-amp that would be about the best you can expect out of this antenna, but chances are if you’re looking at an antenna like this, that’s about all you would need. As a comparison, before this antenna I was using a Larsen NMO27B and was talking to a guy who was 12 miles line of sight from me. That antenna is a 49” base loaded whip so it is two and a half times the length of this antenna. I would say with a pre-amp you can expect maybe out to 5ish miles in good conditions on this antenna. Also, my SWR on channel 1 was 1.3:1, on 40 it was 1.5:1, and on 19 it was 1.1:1. Surprising on an antenna this short, super surprising on a magnet mounted antenna this short.

The magnet on the mount is very powerful, will not slide off. Reception and range is good. About 4 miles max with favorable conditions. I used it on my 4 wheeler, and liked it so much, that I bought one for my semi tractor day cab truck. The cable is long enough to go from the roof of the day cab ( mounted on the metal bracket behind the cab. ) to the dash, via the driver side window lining. I paired it to a cobra 19. Works great.

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

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

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.
