wilson 5000 whit 400w rms

[godcobra]

Hello every body
I have a question about the coax of wilson 5000 roof mount it is capable to endel 400w rms or 1k peek or I have to change for rg8 coax
thanck you

The coax in that antenna is comparable to rg8x.

I have transmitted with 1 kw through mine with no issues.

has any one got any pics of a successful attempt at putting .405 coax on a wilson 5000/1000?

Really no need to use .405 because input more than 5 or 600 avg power will most likely start to burn any painted surface as the couplive capacity through the mag mount will no longer suffice.

thank you for info

Booty, I've seen pictures of it by Rolling Radios.

i believe i recall Kale has mentioned folks using thousands of watts in his 10ks using mag mounts . i'm guessing they were 3 or 4 mag mounts though . anyhow , i think if someone runs more power than the coax on a 1000/5000 will handle that they should move on to a 10k (or their external coil antenna of choice) or 108 .. or at least something that doesn't have solder inside it .... and a hole mount .

It doesn't even take that much...before I knew better, I bubbled the paint on my pickup using a Wilson 5000 magmount and (what I suspect was) a 3-pill...if you are long winded, or have a conversation going for many miles, the heat builds.
