Our take on the Wilson 500 CB Antenna

The Wilson 500 is a magnet-mount CB antenna with a 54-inch whip, a 10-ounce magnet base and 17 feet of coax included. It sits between Wilson's 36-inch Little Wil and the 62-inch Wilson 1000, so it gives more range than a short whip without the height of a full-size antenna. The high-impact thermoplastic build and two-year warranty suit daily drivers. It is a practical middle choice for car, van and truck owners who want a strong signal and a mount they can move between vehicles.

About the Wilson 500 CB Antenna

The Wilson 500 is a mid-sized CB antenna. It is longer than the 36" Wilson Little Wil and shorter than the 62" Wilson 1000. It suits cars, vans, trucks and commercial vehicles.

It has a 54" stainless steel whip and a magnetic mount base. The 10-ounce magnet holds the antenna in place at highway speeds. The magnetic base installs on any flat vehicle surface.

The body is made of high-impact thermoplastic. The heavy-duty coil uses 12-gauge copper wire to reduce resistive heat losses. The antenna works with all CB radios and has a 2,000 watt power rating.

Questions and answers

How does the Wilson 500 compare with the Little Wil and the Wilson 1000?
It sits in the middle. The 54-inch whip gives more range than the 36-inch Little Wil, while the 62-inch Wilson 1000 is taller and reaches further still. Pick the 500 if you want a balance of range and everyday practicality.
Does the magnet hold at highway speed?
Wilson rates the 10-ounce magnet to stay put at top highway speeds. Mount it on a clean, flat metal surface for the best grip.
What is in the box?
The kit includes the magnet mount, the 54-inch whip antenna and 17 feet of coax.
Do I need to tune it?
Yes. Check and adjust SWR after mounting, since the reading depends on where and how the antenna is placed on the vehicle.
Will it work on a fiberglass or aluminum body?
A magnetic mount needs a steel surface to grip and to work as a ground plane. Fiberglass and aluminum panels need a different mounting approach.
Is the whip removable?
The whip unscrews from the base, so you can take it off for car washes or low garages.
Where is the Wilson 500 CB Antenna cheapest?
At Right Channel Radios, for $89.95, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Wilson 500 CB Antenna?
Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 9 ratings.
