Review on ๐Ÿ“ถ Optimized Mobile CB Radio Antenna - Stainless Steel Whip with Midland Center Load Mag Mount by Jared Gopalan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad for the price

Not bad but not great, very high SWR on the roof, moved to the trunk it was much better there. I've never had much luck with center load antennas, base load antennas seemed to work better, especially on the roof where the antenna is supposed to be. It seems to catch up decently against my streetcar 3500 for 3 miles. I haven't spoken to it much, I had my mom put it on her car to test my other antenna. I drove 3 miles in this test, but that might be the limitation of my other antenna. I just think that while the antenna might be ok, I feel better with more metal in the sky, especially when combined with a small portable cellular adapter. That's why I switched to tram 3500, 1.50m high you get more. So if you can pump it pay a little more for a better antenna, but if you can't you can handle it but don't expect much. Although the weather stations were excellent.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Fairly ok but...

The magnet has very good holding power. The SWR measured near zero. The needle hardly moved.
