    The claim was, the stryker was better, when they are actually the same. No one said they were'nt any good.

    They are all good.

    The rule is: the longer the stinger is, the better it can send and receive RF. That's the good news.

    The bad news is, the longer the stinger is, the more it hits things such as bridges, trees and wires.

    Take your pick.

    The Sirio performer 5000 is hand down better than the Wilson 5000 or the Stryker. O ran the Wilson for 10+ years and made the switch to the Sirio performer 5000 and seen an increase in both transmit and receive of 1s unit. Try one and see for yourself. I promise you won't be disappointed one bit.

    So many variables. You got an old Wilson and buy a new Sirio and make silly claims. That is not a comparison. You would have to test both antennas, new, on the same vehicle, in the same location, with the same radio, in the same atmospheric conditions, to make any kind of meaningful determination. Wilson is still a good antenna, Sirio is a good antenna as well.
