Check out this new antenna I found !

As for the antenna, seen it, nothing really new - it works and that's about it.

 

Cb radio magizine did a review but i think it was a mag mount,same as the review i saw on u tube with some dood named m0ogy..The reviews were good and the cb mag said there was a increase in performance over the 2000 or 5000 wilson..

If anyone is into the lighted antenna,go lookin on youtube lotsa example and even a few how to..

 

What?

It looks like the only difference is that they added a coloring agent to the plastic, that's all. Acrylic used in some custom antennas is really stronger than that of the injected plastics used in mass production.

 

I'm not interested on the light show, I'm ONLY interested on its performance. I read the reviews on the Sirio 5k period but not the lighted version. @Ridgeline, so there is NO difference compare to the Wilson 2k ?

 

I haven't heard any yet, it seems that there isn't any magic to them other than a good engineered product of the past.

It reminds me of sitting in a Wendy's drive through back in early 80's behind a van with a pair of A/S lighted antennas in tandem (do not ask me why he had them setup that way, I can't figure it out). The tips and the base would light up when you keyed it with more than a few watts. the more wattage, the brighter they got. These were not the neon lighted ones that A/S made in the 70's. So I knew the guy was running a little Palomar amp and it was really funny to hear him come over the loud speakers at the drive through and light up the top of the van. A few months later those antennas ended up to be a problem for him, as many typical yahoos of the time he wasn't too bright of a person. He was breaking into cars and stealing snow blowers out of garages. This was getting really to be a pain for people, the cops could not figure out who he was until one night they saw the flashing lights coming from an 'empty' van - he was sitting behind the seat where they could not see him. He was talking to his girlfriend who was scouting for him on a bike. They caught the guy with three snow blowers in the back of the van and other assorted stolen items like a few CBs. She was busted a few weeks later selling cbs to the people they stole them from but that's another story.

 

Like i said..cb radio magizine did a review on the NON lit version but im thinkin it was a mag mount and same with m0ogy..They had good reviews..As for a 18 wheeler install performance reports i have not seen anything good or bad..

 

Im not sure i would want the antenna to light up in case I ever felt the urge to announce my lack of panties

 

If you like the lack of pantys and a ant that lights up..Easy fix..Run 2 antenna on a switcher..
Your panty boi ant and man antenna

 

I went from a mag'd wil1000 to a hard mounted sirio 4000 on my pickup, with improved results. But the wilson was around 5ft, compared to the sirios 7ft length.
I would think, with the trucker style, one should see better results with the sirio, being as they are also 7ft, compared to a 5-5 1/2ft wilson.
Dont much care for the light show though...
