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

I figured, “60 bucks and it’s a President, has to be good right?” Wrong. It was, so I thought, exactly what I was looking for. Stealth and modern looking. That’s pretty much where it ends. Says it’s pre-tuned for low swrs. Nope 2.3:1 isn’t all that low. Can’t tune it. The coax is the equivalent of 14 gauge wire. The noise floor was 7 pounds on the meter with the car off. Doesn’t fold flat like one review had said, but I expected that. Had I known this is what it was like, I would’ve just bought the Procomm Rubber ducky for 1/3 the price! Shame President, shame! I will be retuning it.

Easy to install with a very low SWR that doesnt require a lot of work to get low. Its 1.1 for me out of the box and placed in the center of my Toyota Sienna van. Great reception on the President Randy! I hear stations from hundreds of miles away on the DX but Im still in the mud to anyone beyond 5 miles line of sight or so. Recommend using an RM KL203P amp and the President McKinley with this antenna to get out a little better. Great starter antenna for people who dont really want to be adjusting for SWR all the time. About as plug and play as you can get for a magmount.

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.

Looks like a standard car antenna on my Honda Fit. If the cable were a foot or so longer it would have gotten 5 stars

Sticks to my truck great even though car wash

I just use this in my suv for traffic info. This antenna doesnt make the car look awkward or redneck. Not that thats a bad thing, just not my thing. Keeps a low profile and I can still pick up for a few miles out.

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.

Didnt work, sent it back. It wouldnt let me post without giving it at least one star. It wasnt my choice to give it any star.

Weak receive and transmit compared to Lil Wil Wilson mag mount. May have just got a bad one. Returned for refund. Cost too much for what it is. I wanted it to work because it is really a stealth antenna. Looks factory almost.

Strong magnet. Looks like a antenna on a new car. Range isn’t bad for what it is. Swr is exactly what they claim. Very happy with it. If you’re looking for a modern looking antenna for your car or suv instead of a whip, this will fit the bill.
