President Electronics New Virginia (ehemals New York UP) CB-Antenne mit Magnethalterung

Packs a punch and vary strong magnet

Actually surprised at the performance of this tiny antenna. Worked some skip with it on SSB. Perfect for around town or the highway. Looks good. Tuned well to my President McKinley. The tiny gauge wire is fragile. I wouldn't run it through the car wash as I have heard otherts say. Obviously not as much gain as my big boy antennas but my friends don't laugh at me now for having a CB in my car.

Just received my President Virginia, installed it to my Subaru with a Cobra 25ltd NW. I checked my swr 1:1, 1:1.2 across the band. Got a radio check roughly 5miles away from me saying I was giving them 9lbs on their receive. Keep in mind that you compromise distance with this 1/4 wave antenna. You're not going to be Dx'ing across the country bearfoot unless you have a foot warmer 100watts max. Even then you may or may not get out, all depends on mother nature. This antenna is good for road trips, line of sight communication with other drivers on the road. Astecticly it looks good and it's not screaming cb in your car or truck. I have a nice placement of my radio due to lack of space in the console of my car. Overall it's a very good antenna for my application.

I’ll be quick. I’m new to cb did a little in the past. I have all new Uniden 885, with 5 or six antennas that all register 7 on ref power. This antenna plug and play registered 1 on ref. from the start….every time. Finally got what I was looking for. I didn’t have to make any adjustments and even when I did, just playing around, it was still 1. Enough said.

Works great can hear other drivers very clearly. Was told that transmission was clear as well. Don’t know the range but i am in the city and heavy traffic I would say about a mile or so. Magnet is very strong no fear of it flying off. Now build quality is okay. The antenna loosens up after a few days of it on my truck. The black plastic ring where the antenna meets the base just broke when tightening it down almost like shattering into pieces.I really do like the style a stealth of it. I may change it out to a lil Wilson if it loosens up again.

Overall is working as advertised, am satisfied.I did order the adjustable version, but the merchant sent me the fixed antenna.Turns out I like this one better, is abit of a hassle with the garage parking, but it works.

It says on the box engineered to be the best but this is a cheap pile of junk. It loosened in the wind so i tightened it up more and the plastic o ring broke that keeps it secure. Absolute terrible idea to use plastic in-between mating surfaces that require tension. Absolute embarrassment to engineers everywhere, china can produce better.

It looks like original equipment, not like a CB antenna. That being said, it's shouldn't be expected to receive/transmit like a trucker's CB antenna. For casual, motorist use, it does a good job. Also, it can be easily unscrewed from its base for car washes and low-ceiling parking garages.

Smaller than expected but worked very on our recent 15 hour drive with two cars. Coax is very small diameter but plenty long &.very low SWR of about 1.3.Does not fold very far forward as I hoped but looks & works great.

Works slightly worse than expected, but it is a small antenna. Im in California and can still can hear skip across the other side of the united states like Georgia, the Carolinas and Texas, but it just has more static than my taller Wilson's. "Hight is might". Also really wish the cable was 2' longer.

This antenna is mounted on the roof of my vehicle. Channels 19 through 40 are running swr's of 1.3:1 and less. However, channels 1 through 9 are running swr's starting at over 2.5:1, and drop as the frequency increases. Channels 11 is about where the lowest safe swr's begin.To summarize: the antenna is too short for the lower c.b. radio frequencies.

I gave up on CB a long time ago. But I don't want to be completely disconnected from it. In this day and age, I don't think it is worth investing much time, effort, or money into a "stellar" CB base/mobile installation. So I have a "minimalistic" setup: President Randy II FCC handheld radio (check it out) hooked up to this New Virginia mag mount antenna.

I looked all over for my 'President Andy || CB' an antenna that would work best as a setup. Most Antennas left me unhappy because they were weak and they flew off my car's roof at 30mph. Most important thing is this one can easily withstand 80mph on the highway and I'm confident it can do over 100 mph no stress. Magnet is STRONG. The wire is thinner and length is perfect and tilt can be angled so you can get into your garage. Must tune the President Andy CB and antenna with the 'Workman SWR Meter for CB Radio Antennas SWR2T' If you have an SUV and want to put the antenna all the way back near shark-fin you will need to get the extension wire 'MOOKEERF PL-259 UHF CB Coax Cable 6FT, RG58 PL-259 UHF Male to SO239 Female Low Loss Antenna Extension Jumper Cable ' THis should help you tremendously if you want to get your setup looking sweet.

I put this on my 2021 venue and this thing is great I had a wilson 1000 and replaced it with this president Virginia CB antenna and u can believe it or not but I received and transmitted out farther than the Wilson and it comes pre tuned and the magnet is very strong all u have to do is plug it up and your talking I’ve had several people say that’s a CB antenna? But I was leery about the thin coax but it was better because now it don’t get pinched in the rear hatch. Love it love it. Go buy one this is by far the best antenna for the price and u won’t regret it

I always knew President Electronics manufactured great equipment. So when I went to revive my old Courier Gladiator sideband CB. I found the New Virginia antenna might fit my needs on a modern car (with no bumpers to mount to per se.) I am quite surprised by the quality and output from this antenna. Field strength is phenomenal and the the pre tuned antenna gives very low SWR readings when mounted on the lower channels. Very pleased!!!

For my first CB antenna, this thing is not as noticeable as those big long whips. Sleek style, and in Southern Ontario, I am picking up signals from New York, Alabama, and many other states in the USA. Still not sure if they can hear me, but I can certainly hear them!

Bought this for my bro-in-law for Christmas 2021. (Too bad that I can''t 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, isn't too bad at all.

The magnet on the mount is very powerful, will not slide off.Reception and range is good. About 4 miles max with favorable conditions. I used it on my 4 wheeler, and liked it so much, that I bought one for my semi tractor day cab truck. The cable is long enough to go from the roof of the day cab ( mounted on the metal bracket behind the cab. ) to the dash, via the driver side window lining.I paired it to a cobra 19. Works great.

The cord was too short to mount at the rear roof of my SUV, so I had to order a PL-259 Male to SO-239 Female cord to wire up the CB at the front. SWR at Ch 1 is around 1, 1.5 at Ch 40, and around 1 at Ch 19. Connections at PL259/SO239 are snug without issues.Receive seems good so far, but very condition dependent. I ran my usual course in the city where I do my GMRS tests and got the typical 1/2 mile to 1 mile range I've read from other reviews. I'll reserve judgment on range until after I get some interstate miles on this one.I mounted the antenna at the back right corner of my Jeep Liberty. The magnet is very strong and can be difficult to remove, but that's a good thing. I was worried about how loose the antenna might be at the swivel point, but there are rigid lock points that hopefully won't wear out over time. The height should be fine, but I am going to watch it around low limbs and parking garages.I'm satisfied so far, except for the cable length issue.

I 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.

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.
