📻 Silver Load Series 4-Foot CB Antenna Whip by Wilson 305-4FD Review

I've had Wilson and Firestick antennas on my SUV and I like Wilson a lot more than the others. Excellent reception and flexibility without a spring is outstanding. I would buy this product again without reservation

At high SWR I started to give up. I used it to replace the 2 inch fire rod I installed on the FJ Cruiser. I couldn't get an SWR below 3. After taking it straight out of the box, my SWR is 1.5 on all 40 channels. Very glad it fixed my problems.

I ordered two. One for each truck at work. The second never appeared and the first didn't work. Got a replacement and sent the first one back. It works, but not great. I'm shocked it's Wilson. The second never showed up, and I was still accused of "not returning" it. Never again.

I made my antenna with RGB LEDs and transparent heat shrink tubing, also bought from Amazon. The amount of springs and bends on this antenna is incredible…

I've been doing a lot of research on CB antennas and Wilson "Flex" Silver Load Series Whips 4' - Black Bought because of your flexibility I broke my last Fire Stix while flipping so the flexibility is GOOD no plans for more flips! Another reason I went with the Wilson Flex was that it had good SWR adjustment abilities from the start. Well it was easy to install but I had to tweak a lot to get a good 1:1 match. I ended up not having to cut 1/4" from the bottom of the brass top load. This meant I

To be honest I thought this 4 foot antenna was going to be a hit. Unfortunately, if I buy 3 of them, it has many problems.1. The rubber cover is tight and swollen. Undressing is a nightmare. As soon as you start twisting and knocking off the rubber cap, the copper bolt's silver solder coil will break. Also, the tiny wrench to loosen the adjusting screw is too small.2. The black wire is not grounded. I found out by checking that it is a common cable. VALUE is the middle needle on the coax, this…
