Review on 🌦️ Optimized WSP1198 Weather Band Mobile Antenna for Tram by Christopher Millet

Revainrating 5 out of 5

With the setting it works great.

Although it worked out of the box for average reception, I used an antenna SWR meter (which unfortunately most people can't handle) to tune it perfectly. Many antennas have to be tuned anyway for the best reception. The SWR Tuning Meter can be purchased here at Revain for less than $20. I have owned and used one for many years. Most people only use two or three of their favorite channels on a regular basis, and the bass, middle and treble channels often require slightly different tuning, or if the channels you normally use are far apart, have your antennas set to an average Signal strength set across the range band. A meter is the best way to balance them properly. The only downside I found was not being able to tighten the direction or rotation adjustment screw enough to prevent it from blowing out at high speeds. However, a drop of superglue solved this problem in no time at all. When he was in a better position I still had no intention of moving him.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
