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

Junk doesn’t work at all better using a hanger very disappointed Amazon station sell this product

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.

Does not fit my Midland CB.

Im not sure why there are so many bad reviews. This is not an ideal antenna - and going into the purchase I assumed there would be some drawbacks. For reference, I am an Amateur Extra Ham operator but I also use CB radio. This a compromise antenna - meaning its nowhere near the perfect physical length. Its electrically a 1/4 wave - looks like its wound around a plastic or fiberglass pole, so it needs a good ground plane - IE the center of your roof. I use this on my wifes minivan because she doesnt want a 4-foot firestik or anything like that. This is the closest thing you can get to stealth while having a functioning antenna. Most importantly - out of the box I saw a 1:1 SWR - that is SUPER low for a compromise antenna. Theres no way to tune this, so thats a good number out of the box. That means Im getting the full 4 watts out of my radio (more or less) transmitted out. I replaced a whip antenna on a mag mount (2:1 SWR) with this and Im definitely reaching further distances. Note that this is in the center of a minivan roof - a very large ground plane. Does this beat my firestik or my home CB antenna? Of course not. But for the price it offers a good compromise between form and function and looks like a modern car antenna. Theres really nothing else in this space that compares. If you are looking for something semi-stealth this is really your only usable option.

I just use this in my suv for traffic info. This antenna doesnt make the car look awkward or redneck. Not that thats a bad thing, just not my thing. Keeps a low profile and I can still pick up for a few miles out.

I 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

No problems at all with this antenna. 1.1/1 out of the box. I have it matched up with a President Bill CB. Great setup for moving from vehicle to vehicle and to pack along for vacations. Thin coax makes for easy routing from the roof/trunk to the passenger compartment. You’ll be very satisfied with this purchase.

I 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.

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

Every big Antenna works better then it when tuned. When are the big dogs even turned correctly??? This is just stick on the car. screw the plug into the radio and the SWR is less then 1.3 across the band. Talk 6 miles with 4 watts is doable without going to hell for lying. Can listen to locals without skip over washing them as the big dog, big ears antennas do. It also likes 162 MHz weather stations. Only negative is the 10 year warranty that have to collected in Barcelona, Spain.
