    Any Wilson antenna will do just fine!

    I don't have a big radio, I just have the 4.5' Francis. Works good, far better than the stock kenworth antennas.

    Does not matter if you have a " big radio " or not. A good antenna and coax will make any radio sound like a big radio!

    Because a Wilson is made to last a very long time while it works good the whole time!

    I had many Francis whips break off on limbs, not a Wilson.

    Just my opinion.

    Sound quality and reception are always important; especially if you get in a pinch and need it. Why settle for less when you can have the best?

    Monkey Made... Industrial strength... You'd break the mirror off before the antenna broke... I'd feel comfortable using mine in a sword fight... Great reception and transmission capabilities...

    Yee-Haw!!!
