Tram 1500-Watt Fiberglass Whip CB Antenna vs Signalplus Discone Antenna 25–1300 MHz

Buy the Tram if you need one tough CB whip for a truck or off-road rig and already have a 3/8-inch mount. Buy the Signalplus if you want one antenna to pull in CB, scanner, airband, VHF/UHF and GMRS on a base or mast. The Tram is a single-band fiberglass whip rated to 1,500 watts with a 17 ft coax run; the Signalplus is a wideband discone covering 25 to 1300 MHz at 200 watts with 10 m of cable. Owners of the Signalplus call it well made and better than expected for its size, though one said the brand was not as advertised; the Tram's feedback is mostly about the seller, not the antenna itself.

• Choose the Tram if you run a CB radio in a vehicle and want a durable fiberglass whip that handles high power on a standard 3/8-inch stud mount.
• Choose the Signalplus if you want one antenna for scanning and listening across CB, airband, VHF, UHF and GMRS, especially on a base or mast.
