For all of you that have the above antenna, how easy was it to SWR (assuming its mag mounted in the centre of the roof like the one in the Peogeot in the forum gallery). I heard that the Sirio's are pretty much spot on out of the packet, kinda hoping its the same for the Wilson as I want one

Mine was simple, stuck it on, found the centre of the whip that was in the coil and just adjusted it, ended up being about 1/4" above the deepest it can go... sitting at 1.2

yup wilsons are pretty good but you still have to check the the first time you put it on the roof

it says in the book put the antenna in by inch and the swr should be spot on

so i did this with mine and checked the swr and it was on 0 on channel 20 on the superstar swr meter

no adjustment needed you cant get any better than that can you

this is the first time iv never had to mess around with swr on an antenna

wilson 1000 is the

Considering my Wilson 1000 was second hand and I didn't quite know what to expect when it came to SWR'ing it, I was amazed that it was spot on.

No trouble at all & no adjustments to make !

Cheers

would a wilson antenna be good for my tractor??? good performance??? P.S i mount it on the mudguard with a magnet, wilson 1000 or 5000??

yes got plenty wilsons running on tractors useing mirror mounts swr is easy as well
