10k vs wilson 5000 or 102 whip
- Thread starter Bomber

It's not the antenna. It's the marble behind the mic that wins you points in this world. If you have something to say that folks want to hear, they will fix it on their end.
BTW, a 102" whip, top dead center will help.

All other things being equal, the longer the antenna and the higher it is mounted, the better.

Thanks guys , I'm running a single 2000 wilson on each of my pickups in the center behind the cabs. They seem like they're working pretty good. I got a 10K coming next week and thinking about putting it on my good pickup. I'll see how that works. Thanks for your comments. Later, Bomber
a real solid core 102-108inch whip will not bend very much at speed. a wilson what ever will. a coil what ever will bend some but only the whip/stinger.
this is why "some" see or hear a difference with a coiled blah blah antenna.
the full length antenna wins every time if mounted corectly and you dont use the cheapest one you can find. only place that sells a true solid core 102-108 1/4 wave antenna these days is MFJ.
take that to the bank. :twisted:

so, are the rat shack 102" whips not good? I couldnt see where the difference would be, its 102" long and its stainless. am I missing something??
Stainless is great for corrosion resistance and hardware, but not a very good conductor.
Is the Rod of GOD made out of stainless? 8)

I thought they went to the 800MHz trunking system to be linked with all other departments and also can't be monitored buy scanners.

So I need a solid GOLD full size rod lower then 18k but wouldn't that deform easily like an 18k ring will smash easily and a 24k is harder to crush. Then theres the fact that the conductors in the coax are still copper hum what coax has solid gold conductors. I think your on to something here if they made a box of gold to talk to GOD then he only knows who I'll be able to talk to with a gold antenna/coax setup. (Hello is there anyone out there calling from earth over...) :twsted

I did read some where on Wilson's web site they use silver wire in there coils because it is better. Would using a silver platted c o p p e r tube or rod work better then other materials?
I agree with the Master.....102" whip if stationary. Ive never seen a whip that dosent just about lay flat when going down the road. My next choice would be the 10K and then the Wilson.
When you really want to step up to some serious cable, check out CARDAS Audio cable. George Cardas is an old friend of mine. His wire really brightened up the video signals going to my TV monitor many years ago!linearone said:
I've actually applied the Fibonacci Sequence to multiple antenna placement on vehicles. Does it work? Lets just say that cross band interference is gone. Can I prove it? Maybe or maybe not, but it worked for me.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
