Wilson 1000 Mag Mount
Product Description
The Wilson 1000’s higher gain performance is a result of several new design developments that bring to you the most powerful CB base loaded antenna available in its price rangeA large portion of the power that goes into a typical base loaded CB antenna is lost as heat in the coil and as dielectric heat loss in the plastic inside the coil form. Many CB antennas lose more than 50% of the power put into them. The power is wasted as heat loss and not radiated as radio waves. Another weak link in other CB antennas is the capacitor used to match the coax to the antenna, which is a cheap and easy way to make the SWR look good, but has lots of power loss, plus blows out when high power is applied to it.
The first priority was to reduce the dielectric loss by removing as much of the plastic inside the coil as possible. This was accomplished by suspending the coil in air, supported only at four small points, 90 degrees apart, in effect removing 95% of the plastic from the inside surface of the coil. This reduced the dielectric loss to a negligible amount.
The second priority was to get rid of the resistive heat losses in the coil. Since most of the RF energy at 27 MHz travels on the surface of the wire, it was decided to increase the surface area by making the diameter of the wire larger 10 GA copper. Since silver is a much better conductor than copper, although very expensive, the wire was heavily silver plated. This reduced the resistive loss to a minimum.
Finally, to get rid of the losses in the matching between the coax and the loading coil, the lossy capacitor was eliminated and a difficult but more efficient means of coupling the antenna was used. A Scalar Network Analyzer was used to determine the very precise point to direct match the coil with the coax and obtain the best match with maximum power transfer, which gives the 3000 watts of power handling capability.
So far you have read about why the Wilson 1000 performs better, but the Wilson 1000 is also the most rugged antenna you can buy. It is made with Mobay’s Thermoplastic which costs a lot more, but it’s the best available. All of these are the reasons you get a 2-year guarantee .

TERMS:
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO AGREE TO THESE TERMS IN ORDER TO PURCHASE FROM THIS WEB SITE._____
I BELIEVE IN QUALITY BEFORE QUANTITY!
Normal turn around times; (Does not apply to Scanners)
"Major Custom radio's" 280 to 320 business days.
"Custom/Modified radio's" 45 to 60 business days depending on model.
"Stock/No option radios" are usually 1 to 2 weeks.
_____Depending on the difficulty of your build or the builds in front of it, this time could be longer._____
"Major Custom" in this case means that you have added an option that requires a significant modification(s) to the stock radio that takes more than 3 hours to install.
Such as the LCSP-1a, AD-203, upgrading amp deck, LesComm RCI Noise Filter, etc. are considered Major Custom builds.
"Custom/Modified" examples include LesComm Enhancements, Basic Clarifier mod, Amp Switch, Hi Cut Filter, etc. just to name a few. However if you add a lot of these small upgrades it could move your order to the "Major Custom" category.
"Stock/No option" means just that. These receive only a general tune up._____
"Repairs" There is no time estimates on repairs. Simply because repairs are unpredictable. I will do my best to complete repairs in a timely manner but if you send me a basket case it's gonna take a long time!_____
***Does not apply to Scanners. Scanners ship within 48 hours of purchase._____
Customers are taking advantage of the MANY custom options we offer
Depending on the difficulty of your build OR THE BUILDS IN FRONT OF IT, this time could be longer!_____
There are NO REFUNDS for custom radio, amplifier or power supply orders. NO EXCEPTIONS! NO EXCEPTIONS!
20% restocking fee on "as new, non-customized" radio returns.
Radios are built AFTER they are ordered in the order of "payment" received. _____
AGAIN, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS ON CUSTOM RADIO, AMPLIFIER OR POWER SUPPLY ORDERS, AND KITS, NO EXCEPTIONS.
