Fav Antenna

I'm trying to find a new antenna for my mobile so I figured this would be a good way to choose. The choices are ones that I might go with but not sure yet.

IT'S A 10K WORLD!!!!!!!!!

[Mr RadioActive]

I've used so many antennas. Coily, Stargun, McNasty, Al Capone, 2 Watt, 55, fighting sticks.................The Best thus far has been the 10K for quality, weight, and tx/rx

[Stormbringer]

Yea, what RadioActive said!

[Mr RadioActive]

:agree: Hey did I agree to myself!!! LOL, theres alot of antennas but its rare to find a lightweight good talking antenna built to awesome standards. My second favorite right now is coily. As far as his base antennas they rock!

[Mr. 9k9]

Hey Guys, would it be safe to say that a 10K would kick the crap out of my Wilson1000? and who knows where to get one in ontario canada, or in Port Huron Michigan?

[Mr RadioActive]

Yup.

...who knows where to get one in ontario canada, or in Port Huron Michigan?

I don't think that any of the sponsors that sell these would have a problem shipping to Canada, you just can't pay with that funny looking money. :06-01smi:

:8_too_funny: lmao!

[Big Hit]

:agree: Hey did I agree to myself!!!

I agree with the fact that you agree with yourself.

[Mr RadioActive]

Do they use money, or do they still trade plets, and such for items at the market!!!! JK, LOL

[Mr. 9k9]

LOL we still trade pelts of course..... that is when it's warm enough to come out of our Igloo...... eh.
I actually live right on the border by the bluewater bridge in Sarnia Ontario, 5 minutes from Port Huron Michigan so I get to use real money once in a while.

[Mr RadioActive]

real money buys you a big igloo!

[Mr. 9k9]

How did I miss this poll?

Well, "Other" isn't listed...so I didn't vote. Everyone talks highly of the 10k, but I've yet to see anyone compare it (even unscientifically) to the 102" whip...which I know for a fact the Everhardt Tiger SOTT-5' will out perform. I've run numberous tests over the years using the 102" as the base antenna to beat.

I've run numberous tests over the years using the 102" as the base antenna to beat.

I have tested the 10K against the 102" whip. Was posted on another site...

I also did the test useing the Wilson 5000, the Mr.Coily Dual Coil 22" shaft antenna, the Monkey Made, the Megatron, (which is a Monkey Made Clone) And a Radio Shack antenna...

In every case...The Predator 10K always was the most broad banded antenna, and tuned the lowest, and easiest...All test were done using a Dosy Meter, and a radio shack meter, a field strength meter, and a mfj 259b antenna analyzer...

All antennas were similar in size's, number of coils, and shaft lengths. (except for the 102" whip, Predator doesn't make anything close to 102" tall)

Over all best preforming antenna was the Predator 10K, 27" shaft Dual Coil antenna. Tuned flat across all 40 channels, on mfj. 100% Match efficiency, X=0 on all 40 channels...

Also tested were the other Predator 10K configurations, like the Single Coil, the 22", 17", 12", and 9" shaft's...All did well, but the 27" tuned the best.

As for the antenna which came in a close second, other than Predator. Was the Mr.Coily.

Best I could get the 102" whip to tune, was around 1.2 swr. Which from what I've seen, most cant get a 102" to tune lower than 1.3...

102" whips are just fine if your sitting still. But run down the highway @ 60 MPH, and watch that sucker bend-over backwards! Along with the swr!

The Heavy **Censored** Made's wont bend at all, not even @ 150 MPH down the freeway...But they also wont talk as good either.

But, you don't have to take my word for it...talk to anyone who use to run whips, but finally decided to switch to the 10K!

By the way...I do alot of the testing of the Predators, before they ever go to market...The antennas which are for sale right now, are some of the best antennas available. Currently, I have a couple of different Predator's I'm testing, and different size diameter's of shafts...And still playing around with a "Top-Hat" or Ground Plane kit, made by Predator, for Predator 10K's...

Only way to find out if the Predator 10K is for you...is to give one a try!

Well, why not? The 102" whip mounted on your car will exibit 0, ZERO dBd gain.... because it's a half-wave dipole [the other half is the car] With coils comes loss. That's just a rule of thumb. So what's this about a SCOTT antenna?

[Mr RadioActive]

agreed with jessie, 10K all the way!

[Snowman1975]

My choice isn't listed so hear is my favorite (I am SO ready for the crap from all you....heehee). I messed up my little wil that I used to run so I went to a truck stop and bought this Cobra 1000 mag mount. It has this big coil cased in glass and filled with oil. So far, it is the best antenna I have run hands down on my van. But, it is only like my second antenna I have tried. My little wil had to be totally adjusted before I could even come close to 1.5 on my SWR. This Cobra went straight to 1.3 across the board without modification upon hook-up.

Just my 2 cents.
