Our take on the President Maryland RW 500 Watt Rated 58 CB Radio Antenna

The President Maryland is a 5/8-wave CB antenna with a stainless-steel whip and tunable SWR rings. Its wide-band design covers about 200 channels with a 2,000 kHz bandwidth, so it holds a usable match across the 11-meter band rather than only at channel 19. It suits drivers who want a fixed-mount antenna with more gain than a short helical whip. Against basic 1/4-wave and center-loaded antennas it is longer and needs a solid mount, but it gives stronger transmit and receive on the open road.

What reviewers say

Owners of 5/8-wave CB antennas generally report strong transmit and receive range and a match that stays usable across the band once tuned. The recurring complaints are the length and the need to adjust the tuning rings carefully.

What people mention
  • RangePraisedOwners say the 5/8-wave design pulls in distant stations and transmits farther than short antennas.
  • SWR tuningMixedThe tunable rings work, but users say getting a low match takes time and a meter.
  • BuildPraisedThe stainless-steel whip is described as durable and weather-resistant.
  • SizeCriticisedThe long whip is awkward on low vehicles and can catch branches.

Questions and answers

Does it need tuning after installation?
Yes. Adjust the SWR rings with an SWR meter after mounting. The match changes with mount type, ground plane and cable, so tune it on the vehicle.
What mount does it use?
It is a fixed-mount antenna for a standard 3/8-inch stud mount. It is not a magnetic or glass-mount antenna.
How does it compare with a 1/4-wave antenna?
The 5/8-wave design gives more gain and a flatter match across channels, but it is longer and needs a solid mount. A 1/4-wave whip is shorter and simpler to fit.
Is it good for highway use?
Yes. The wide bandwidth and vertical polarization suit highway CB use, where range and a stable match matter more than a compact profile.
What is in the box?
The antenna and its tunable SWR rings. A mount, coax and SWR meter are separate.
