Sirio 5000 performer......

[fourstringburn]

I am interested in one of these for my pickup. Need a 22" shaft though just to clear the roofline. Is it easy to add a different riser?

Buy the trucker series which is the same resonator coil but comes with a 17 inch shaft which should be good enough. Either way, the resonator coil accepts a typical CB mount 3/8 x 24 threaded shaft so you can easily use a longer shaft than 17 inches.

I bought mine on Amazon and added a 36 inch shaft.

I have bought a couple of these last year, I really like them and would like to purchase 2 more, problem is finding a good source for them?

FWIW, I recently purchased one on Amazon; they call it the Sirio Fighter; same thing as far as I can tell just a different color, Camo; doesn't come with the magnetic base but I put it on one from my old Wilson 1000 and it works fine. It is now selling for a few bucks more than I paid, but $73.59 includes shipping.



Amazon product ASIN B0195NXSO2
I see there is a regular one on Amazon as well which includes the mag base but more expensive & doesn't include shipping.

Have a Magical Day.

At the moment im using also the fighter 5000.

Although i cant provide scientific proof as ny old wilson 1000 past away...
im having the feeling this one is a step up.
With 200 Watts pep my range is always about 150km from static mobile to static mobile with a similar setup. In fm..guess about 60-100km..depending on setup other station.

I can work the other side of the world..did some nice DXing..includung thailand LP.
Obvious thats propagation...
But still..you will need a good antenna to enjoy the propagation.

I like the easy collapse screw..

Down side :
You will need strong magnetic base...or other solution...

Im having the antenna now for2 months on the roof.

The bottom screws have turned into rusting machines...
i mean...terribble !..
Ill upload a picture later..

Otherwise...
im confident it should be amongst "best" 6 feet mobile whips.

I have two of the 5000. One is on the Sirio magnet, the other is on the Wilson magnet. The Wilson 5000 coil cracked and filled up with water. Then the coil broke...
