Monkey Made MM-9 Medium

I have been running the Wilson 2000 and it works fine.

After upgrading my radio to a Galaxy DX94HP i decided to order a MM-9 and give it a try.
Should i expect better receive?
I have no problem talking skip with the Wilson but receive could be better.

Also is anyone running one on a ProStar?

Kind of interested if i will be able to tell better performance.
The Wilson antennas have always done a good job.

Thanks for any input.

 

Yes,sure will. I should get it Thursday and will install it this weekend.
I have to stop and get a heavy duty stud for my mount before i get in for the weekend.

 

Thanks,That was what i was going to buy.
I noticed Pilot had the big SS stud the other night but i left my rewards card in the truck.
I will grab one tomorrow.

This is similar to what Pilot had,

I got it for 65 bucks so much better than what the CB shops sell them for.
It came yesterday evening.
What a beast of an antenna. It may be just too tall for my mirror mounting unless i lean it way forward...That looks like crap in my opinion!
Plus how much tilting it forward until it messes up performance?
I will have to mount it and do some measuring this weekend but i think my Wilson will end up staying.

 

Thanks Mike,
Spent the day yesterday trying to set SWR....My Wilson was 1.2 and the MM i can't get under 2...
I got so frustrated i put the Wilson back on.

I used an old 102 whip and cut it to 49 inches,same as the MM length then started trying to tune it.
Ended up cutting 6 inches at least off just to get down to 2.

I did not want to cut the MM whip because it may be going back!
Solid built antenna and it is heavy......almost too heavy for mirror mounting.
Probably 3 pounds or more.
