Your wasting your money if you think your going to see any change from going to a 5000 because your not. The only difference between the 2 antennas is the power rating,price and that's it. You want to see a real difference then get a 10K.
Well then 10 rog drivers I appreciate the help. Once I start driving again I will get one of them nice 10Ks
i just use a 102'' whip mounted to the bottom mirror bracket pointing forward then pulled the antenna back and tied it to the to of the mirror bracket=6-9miles average transmit and god only know how far im receiving.Paid 20 bucks for antenna,a buck for some zip ties and some electrical tape for raping around an area on top mirror bracket so when i tied the antenna to it it wouldnt interfere.Its stiff dosent flap in the wind gets great singnal and 1.1 on the swr all the way trough the channels.

Antenna is tilted at 10 degrees, so that when the truck moves, the whip is pointing up. Also works good parked. -Stainless Steel universal mirror bracket (Weather Sealed Metal & Mounted reverse(to keep bugs off coax)) -Gumdrop -OR- (Bee Hive) Antenna mount -Black Twisty Ties to hang Coax on back side of mirror bracket (helps keep bugs off coax and keeps it clean) (Above photos are shot at, Sapp Bros.
