I have that mount and a Wilson 1000 on one of my trucks, I rarely put the 102" on because of the noise it makes banging off of things, and it's somewhat directional mounted on the step bumper. (good dx shooter) The Wilson 1000 mag mount is hard to beat for most practical applications. I have mine mounted in the center of my truck box, puts it pretty close to center. I have to tie down for the drive through. The 102? |

Unless your participating in a keydown and need some oil cooled coil, you will get the best results with a 102" and they are good (most of them) to 1kw. You will get good results but not necessarily the best results. How so? Give me an example. Unless Jay wants to put an I10K on his truck. Out in the desert he could weld 20 foot of tower in the bed. LOL F that, Jay's gonna make a pdl2 clone before he dick's with those portable antennas..we already have that 10K stuff swinging in the breeze. Right, J? hehehe |

A 102" stainless steel whip can be beat by some shorter (loaded) antennas. Wrong. By it's very nature, a loaded antenna loses some power in the loading coil and therefore is not as efficient as an antenna without one. The only way a shorter antenna could outperform a full-length 1/4-wave whip is if it had some way to pull down the take-off angle. So far, nobody has provided any theory or empirical evidence that any such antenna exists, or is even possible. The 102 is the best portable antenna you can buy, bottom line. (cheap too) It takes a real CBer to drive around with one every day tho. |

Yet the X-terminator can beat a radio shack 102" SS whip.It's not that the X-Terminator is so good. It's that the 102" SS whip is just bad enough that the X-Terminator can beat it. In other words the radio shack 102" SS whip is not ideal. Do you have any hard test results to back up that claim? Has the X-terminator been used on a side by side basis with a 102" whip on say the Lockheed Martin ant test range or is it personal testing you have conducted? Is it just the Rat Shack whip you are comparing it to or other maunfacturers (like their is a helluva lot of them)? You don't need a antenna test range to determine relative gains. I can only confirm the antennas I have tested. The R-S 102"ss and the Workman X-Terminator are two of them. |

: We've been through this before, tnom -- chrome-plated anything isn't much better than stainless steel, and any difference isn't going to make a lick of difference when length and loading are much more significant. Even if the whip is sold by Radio Shaft. After all, the design isn't very complicated..... Yes, we have been through this before, and I never made a definitive conclusion as to why I got the results I got. Well, aren't you persistently making the claim that this antenna you're selling is better than a 102" whip? I would call -that- a definitive conclusion, wouldn't you? Reading comprehension mistake on your part. Hint - the use of the word "why" False conclusion on your part. Hint - You believe I sell antennas. Yes, we have been through this before and no one has ever done the side by side comparison that would duplicate my results. Ever think it's because bogus results can't be duplicated? You would never know unless you'd try. Have you ever tried??? Yes, we have been through this before and will again because no one will admit that the only way to find the truth is by a side by side comparison. I agree 100%. But once again, since nobody should take anyone else's word on the subject, it requires a person to buy -both- antennas. Good way to sell antennas to morons; bad way to sell antennas to people with more than half a brain. Now if you are willing to refund the purchase price and shipping if your antenna doesn't meet or exceed the performance of a 102" whip, be it SS or glass, then send me an order form. Otherwise, your sales pitch is lame. If you agree that a side by side comparison is best then why not do it. I'll tell you the answer............ You'd rather argue with un provable hypothesis than seek the real truth by your own test. Send me an antenna and I'll do the test.
