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

Easy install, strong magnet, added a coax extension of 10. SWR is 1.4 on 1 and 40. Picks up 3 to 7 miles on highway based on terrain. Picks up skip, works well

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.

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.

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

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.

This antenna was the answer I needed for mounting a CB antenna on a newer SUV. The appearance is clean - not gawdy or obtrusive. The magnet is strong, and the antenna angle is somewhat adjustable. The antenna comes pre-tuned, which I confirmed with a SWR meter. This is a great option for a magnetic mount CB antenna!

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

What I like...everything about it! Its stealth and it matches my FM/AM antenna. Its easy to install. It looks modern and misses my garage door by 1. Its flat SWR across CB 40 channels and usable on 10 meters using the internal antenna tuner in my G90. I just got a 5/9 from a German station while on the parkway during the 10 meter contest running 20W. On CB its great on receive and transmit. Love it. I think it requires a good ground plane IE smack in the middle of the roof. Thank you President Electronics.

I have two issues. The PL259 connector is so cheap, it was hard to get into the radio. It is just flimsy. The rubber boot is too big and falls right off. I had to glue it. The redeeming qualities are, the magnetic is really strong. The coax is thin. That allows me to run it into the vehicle via the hatch and not pinch it. Due to the two issues, I wouldnt buy another one.

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