Workman WEP-9000 CB Weather Band Antenna vs Driver Extreme 40" Silver Bullet CB Antenna
The Workman WEP-9000 is a glass-mount CB and weather antenna with a 29-inch colinear whip, 2.5 dBd gain and a 17-foot RG58 cable with a PL-259 already fitted. The Driver Extreme Silver Bullet is a 40-inch fiberglass whip with a tunable tip, stainless stud and a 1000-watt rating, and it also covers AM/FM and weather bands. Buy the Workman for a car or truck where you want a no-drill glass mount and a cable that reaches the radio. Buy the Driver Extreme if you run power, want a taller whip with more capture, or need AM/FM reception too. Owners of glass mounts report weaker grounding and more noise than a stud-mounted whip, while fiberglass whips are praised for durability but need a mount and coax of their own.
- Choose the Workman WEP-9000 if you want a glass-mount antenna that comes with its own coax and connector and you mostly talk on CB with occasional weather listening.
- Choose the Driver Extreme Silver Bullet if you run an amplifier, want a taller tunable whip, or want one antenna to also pull in AM/FM broadcast.
