Workman WEP-9000 CB Weather Band Antenna vs 42" Fiberglass CB Weather Band Antenna

The Workman WEP-9000 is the better pick for a CB radio user who wants a tuneable glass-mount antenna with coax included and a low VSWR out of the box. The 42" fiberglass antenna is the tougher, higher-power choice, rated to 300 watts and factory tuned, but it is a whip only with no mount or cable. Build quality favors the fiberglass rod; the Workman's colinear whip and RG58 cable make it a complete, easy install.

• Choose the Workman WEP-9000 if you run a standard CB and want a glass-mount antenna with cable, connector and tuning tool in one package.
• Choose the 42" fiberglass antenna if you need high power handling, a durable U.S.-made fiberglass rod, or a whip that needs no tuning.
