The Wilson 1000 is a center-loaded CB antenna on a magnetic base, about 62 inches tall, with a removable coil so you can stow it or clear a garage door. Its low-loss coil design is rated for 3000 watts ICAS, and Wilson's Lockheed-tested claim of about 58% more gain than a K40 is the pitch that sells it. It suits drivers who want strong transmit and receive range on a car or truck and don't mind a tall whip. Against fiberglass whips and cheaper mag-mounts it trades height and a heavy magnet for signal strength; owners say it tunes easily and holds up, but some find it too tall for tight parking and low garages.
