> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayThis antenna works much better than I expected and it looks great on the car you would never know what type of antenna it is

> 3 dayWeak receive and transmit compared to Lil Wil Wilson mag mount. May have just got a bad one. Returned for refund. Cost too much for what it is. I wanted it to work because it is really a stealth antenna. Looks factory almost.

Greater than one weekI 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.

05-06-2025Okay, 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!

> 3 dayBought 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.

> 3 dayThe photo with the range of motion is not true at all. The antenna can be angled forward and backward app. the same, 20-25 degrees from vertical direction, thus the range of motion is at best 45 degrees total, not 100 degrees as in the schematics! It cannot lay flat against your roof in any direction. Look at the photos closely, they actually are accurate, there is a plastic ridge on both ends, these limit the motion in both directions... I have a low garage entrance and the ability to lower the antenna flat was important for me.

> 3 dayI was looking for an antenna that didn’t look out of place on my equinox. This antenna doesn’t draw attention and gets descent reception
