Maco V5000 CB Base Antenna

Maco v5000

Couldn’t ask for a better antenna. I get a 45 to 65 miles in Central Michigan With a stock President Johnson 2 . Works like a champ. Had absolutely no SRW reading it was as low as you can get. I would highly recommend this antenna to anybody. And I highly recommend right channels radios.

Put antenna up on Friday 3-19-2021 and swr is 1.1 and so far so good. Talked skip on it from South Fl were I’m at to a fellow in San Diego Cal. And to a fellow in Trinidad that calls himself number one eliminator so antenna is so far so good but just wondering what it will be like in hurricane season.

Great ground plane antenna

The quality is a 9 out of 10 which is very good because I never give a perfect 10. I was able to make a better clamp for the one that was missing from the box and when I raised and mounted the antenna my SWR was 1.4 on channel 40 and about .5 on channel 1 Not too bad. A little fine tuning will drop it even lower. I have recommended it to a few family members and some friends. It has seen 60 MPR winds this Spring and there is no warp to the talk mast or the radials.
