Wilson 5000

Just something for y'all to think about: I bought a Wilson T2000 about 3 years ago. Wasn't long till it started getting water in the coil and the SWR would go sky high. It has the clear plastic so I could see it had water in it.

I took a drill and drilled two small drain holes on the bottom so whatever water gets in can drain right back out.

I run a little KL-203 amp and I've been running it this way almost ever since I bought the antenna with no issues.

 

Wilson 1000's are rated for 3k watts aren't they?

 

Careful drilling on the coils. That is soft copper under that plating and you only have to barely nick it with a drill bit to junk the coil. Ask me how I know.

 

HMMM, the one I bought about 4 years ago was in a yellow box

 

I have a spare but it's missing the install kit

 

The original ones have a serial number engraved on the bottom of them and the new ones do not have a serial number.

 

how do you find the KL-203 AMP

 

I got mine on eBay.
