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

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!

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.

If you give this antenna anything less than 5 stars it’s because you either don’t know anything about CB (or radio in general) or your setup is all wrong. This antenna is never going to perform as well as a large whip or fiberglass antenna, but you should know that going into it with only 20 inches of antenna. You can create electrical length all you want but physical length is what counts with receiving. So now having said all that, if you either don’t want a large whip antenna for aesthetic reasons or can’t have one because of garages, then this is the antenna for you. I installed this today on my dad’s F150. I’m using it with a President Bill radio and a RM Italy KL203P amplifier. The amp runs about 100ish watts and has a pre-amp, so it does boost the receive a bit. I had a crystal clear conversation today with a guy that was 2.5 miles line of sight. I would say without a pre-amp that would be about the best you can expect out of this antenna, but chances are if you’re looking at an antenna like this, that’s about all you would need. As a comparison, before this antenna I was using a Larsen NMO27B and was talking to a guy who was 12 miles line of sight from me. That antenna is a 49” base loaded whip so it is two and a half times the length of this antenna. I would say with a pre-amp you can expect maybe out to 5ish miles in good conditions on this antenna. Also, my SWR on channel 1 was 1.3:1, on 40 it was 1.5:1, and on 19 it was 1.1:1. Surprising on an antenna this short, super surprising on a magnet mounted antenna this short.

Looks good. Wish it actually worked. I was sitting right next to 2 tractor trailers Called for a radio check to get nothing. All i heard was static. Im getting another tram.

Easy to install and no tuning. Love it!!

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

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

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

This is a great antenna Im very happy with it what highly recommend it!!

Weak 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.
