Scosche CB201-WP Universal CB Antenna Mag Mount 27 MHz UHF Freq. Type 26" Mast 10 ft Cable Black

Well, it could've been longer, but that's what the coil does I believe, makes the antenna electrically longer, and also makes the antenna center loaded, so that might help too. I'll say this though, I compared the CB201 with a MFJ 1699T, and on 20 Meters, I get stronger receive signals from a station using the CB201 as compared to a MFJ-1699T which surprised me. I haven't noticed 10, 12, 15, or 17 Meters open enough yet to compare signals on those bands, but I was able to compare the CB201 to the MFJ-1699T on the 20 Meter band, and also on even the 40 Meter band, and the received signals when using the CB201 were stronger than with the MFJ-1699T, but it was using an antenna tuner when comparing the two antennas. On CB Radio, or 11 Meters, I was getting a S9 on a station on the other side of town, so it seems to work OK, as of course we were both mobile. There are better antennas I believe, but they're much more expensive, so for the price, I think that the antenna is fairly good. I get a good SWR on the CB201, and all I did was assemble it, and having the upper whip in the coil just far enough to go past the set screw, so the set screw would tighten against the whip, and the picture shows what I get on Channel 20, which is about in the middle of the CB band. The digital meter shows the forward power, the reflected power, and the SWR.

easy to install

It is small!!! It is low priced!!! And it works!!!

It is made to sell at a very low price. The mag mount is not strong enough to hold the antenna in place at freeway speeds. It could be used as a dummy load for testing purposes.

Easy to install. Starting to rust after just a few months.

Appeared at first to be good value however after it came loose, twice going up highway at 60mph because there was a couple of extra wind gusts, I had to disconnect it and put inside my SUV. It's obvious the balance between magnet and antenna with its spring and booster's extra weight is off and magnet can't hold it if any extra wind force is applied.

Weak and not able to get signal.

This antenna is a major piece of garbage. It is not even close to being resonant at the stated frequency.

Could not receive anything on this antenna at all thought it was the cable or the cobra III I was using until I switched to a larger old antenna I found bingo this thing is just not enough
