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

Gets good range for light use on freeways etc. looks like a factory antenna and has little to no interference

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.

Worked as intended

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.

I have two issues. The PL259 connector is so cheap, it was hard to get into the radio. It is just flimsy. The rubber boot is too big and falls right off. I had to glue it. The redeeming qualities are, the magnetic is really strong. The coax is thin. That allows me to run it into the vehicle via the hatch and not pinch it. Due to the two issues, I wouldnt buy another one.

Im only giving 5 stars because it is exactly what it says it is, and does exactly what it says it will do. Its a good working antenna. Its not the best one ever made, but anyone looking for a cosmetically pleasing and good working antenna, this is it. There is no tuning available on this but overall as low swr. It makes it quick to install and get you transmitting.

Looks good. Wish it actually worked. I was sitting right next to 2 tractor trailers Called for a radio check to get nothing. All i heard was static. Im getting another tram.

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.

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...
