President Electronics New Virginia (Formerly Called New York UP) Magnetic Mount CB Radio Antenna

Easy to set up, strong magnet, folds up and down flat for higher vehicles going into parking garages etc..

I got this antenna for a Mazda 3. My wife didn’t like how the Wilson looked on top. Put it on top and hooked it up to Ronald and easy as that it was a 1.0, 1.3, 1.0. I don’t think you can ask for more than that. Did a radio check which I figured would be pointless from my driveway because I live in the boonies and to my surprise I got a load and clear response. The part I wasn’t happy about was UPS shipping. Took 3 days of being out for delivery till they finally decided to drop it off. I wish Amazon gave the option to choose shipping or filter out UPS shippers. Overall was worth the wait because it works far better than I had anticipated.

This antenna has a super magnet an works great on the roof of my pickup truck. I park my truck under a carport and height is an issue. I put it on and have left it for about 5 months with no issues. I also purchased it with my President CB radio which extended the warranty of the radio to 5-years. Cant beat that.

Understandably I was disappointed upon opening the package and saw that the rubber footing/pad thats supposed to protect your vehicle was ripped right out of the box. It looked as if it was repackaged and then resent out to a new buyer...Unfortunately, that new buyer is yours truly. The device still works however and is simple to use but now Im worried its going to scratch my 2013 Cadillac CTS Coupe...And that I can not have. ...Guess I wont be using this antenna anytime soon until I figure out a way to keep it from scratching my vehicles paint.

Just needed a quick movable antenna, holds low swr on multiple vehicles

I figured, “60 bucks and it’s a President, has to be good right?” Wrong. It was, so I thought, exactly what I was looking for. Stealth and modern looking. That’s pretty much where it ends. Says it’s pre-tuned for low swrs. Nope 2.3:1 isn’t all that low. Can’t tune it. The coax is the equivalent of 14 gauge wire. The noise floor was 7 pounds on the meter with the car off. Doesn’t fold flat like one review had said, but I expected that. Had I known this is what it was like, I would’ve just bought the Procomm Rubber ducky for 1/3 the price! Shame President, shame! I will be retuning it.

Signals not improved. Many other options out there. Magnet is good.

Okay, 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!

The connection cable is too short. If you have a midsize SUV, or plan on running the cable from the trunk you should also get an extension cord.

Tested swr and was perfect. Drove around and was receiving single from other stats so can on guess skip was happening as I couldn’t really talk back with my little basic CB
