    The antenna isn't the most important thing to focus on, the feed line (coax) and grounding needs to be looked at first, then the antenna after those items are working good.

    I ended up going with the Wilson antenna . It was the 350 watts one. Only one they had at the place I was at. They did have the 3500 watt Wilson but he said I didn’t need that for my radio. So got the Wilson 350 watt antenna and he tuned it with the cb and that made an absolute world of a difference. Holy cow. I was at Omaha sapp brothers and was talking to a guy going down 75 8 miles away. I’m impressed with it

    By the way I got 2. My truck runs dual antennas . And ran extra wire for a better ground. It had a good ground but he said it’s the most important part
