> 24 hourWhat I like...everything about it! Its stealth and it matches my FM/AM antenna. Its easy to install. It looks modern and misses my garage door by 1. Its flat SWR across CB 40 channels and usable on 10 meters using the internal antenna tuner in my G90. I just got a 5/9 from a German station while on the parkway during the 10 meter contest running 20W. On CB its great on receive and transmit. Love it. I think it requires a good ground plane IE smack in the middle of the roof. Thank you President Electronics.

> 24 hour1:1 to 1:5 on trunk. 1:1 to 1:3 on roof, channels one/twenty/forty (best readings on roof, course). Receiving appears to be equal to my Firestik Firely three foot and four foot, even in dense forested hills and valleys PLUS with the Fireflys I can’t achieve anywhere near the SWR of the New Virginia. Transmission performance not certain as yet but priority is monitoring. After five months (paired with both Presidents Bill 1 and 2) been very pleased.

> 24 hourI bought several of these for our traveling show fleet. Adequate reception on President FM CB. Amazing how strong the magnet is. On several vehicles where I had no metal for magnet I used super strong hook-and-loop which worked very well.

> 24 hourIm only giving 5 stars because it is exactly what it says it is, and does exactly what it says it will do. Its a good working antenna. Its not the best one ever made, but anyone looking for a cosmetically pleasing and good working antenna, this is it. There is no tuning available on this but overall as low swr. It makes it quick to install and get you transmitting.

> 24 hourBought this for my bro-in-law for Christmas 2021. (Too bad that I cant seem to get one for 2022.) It was pretty much plug & play and worked about as well as those old 20 Center-Load CB antennas of over 30 years ago. However, that very light-duty, flimsy, RG-174 coax cable will have to be dealt with sooner, or later. Do not do hard 90 degree bends, if you can help it. Best, to wrap plastic tape where coax comes into rear of PL-259 connector and where the coax comes-in at the base of the magnet mount antenna, as a stress relief. Still, for what it is, from 1 to 10 miles between mobiles, and about 15 miles from base to mobile, isnt too bad at all.

> 24 hourOkay, I suppose it probably doesnt work *exactly* as well as a 108 whip. But this shorty is a range-monster. It works great. I hear everything! And I get excellent reports, even from the (distant) big guns. Amazing!! I dont know how President does it? Excellent!

> 24 hourI bought this antenna for my pickup truck and i cant believe how well it works. I used to have a 102 inch whip years ago on my vehicle and decided to get a radio for my new pickup and i was very impressed with it. Low noise high gain and low SWR all this from this small antenna. I Highly Recommend this antenna to anyone that needs a good performing CB antenna. Its got low SWR from 26.5 to 28.5
