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

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.

Gets good range for light use on freeways etc. looks like a factory antenna and has little to no interference

This antenna really surprised me. It came pre tuned and works better then my old k30. Its great for entering garages with out the wack wack wack of longer antennas. It looks like a factory item on my Toyota Tundra.

A bit pricey for what it is. The antenna tilts about 15 degrees in both directions. Works well for the slopped roof of my van. Pre-adjustment is a big plus

Strong magnet. Looks like a antenna on a new car. Range isn’t bad for what it is. Swr is exactly what they claim. Very happy with it. If you’re looking for a modern looking antenna for your car or suv instead of a whip, this will fit the bill.

Looks like it belongs on the vehicle. Could have a longer coax but it’s just enough for a 2018 Subaru Outback

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

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

Works well 8

Nice product.. came away from the rubber at 80 mph
