The Wilson 2 Meter antenna out performs all similar types of small base loaded VHF antennas. It was designed specifically for users who want a high performance marine radio magnetic antenna at a low price. The Wilson tradition of designing an antenna that offers maximum efficiency for the cost is continued with the 2 meter antenna.
As long as it doesn't allow water in, it's working fine, out performing my 12 year old Larson that I retired. Repeaters 40 to 50 miles out from the mobile it is 2 S units higher than the previous. Really surprised me, being it was a test to begin with.
Well it's been 3 months in the sun, rain, snow, and ice, and still performing well. I wish Wilson made one for the 220 band.
Been 6 months of rain, ice, snow, still no issues.
It's been a year, and still no issues. Performing very well for VHF, no infiltration of water or any issues at all. I been a ham 25+ years and have always had VHF and HF mobiles, you are top notch Wilson, keep up the good quality, this country needs more companies that follow through what they advertise.

My first 2 meter antenna. I am new but it seems to work very well. I can talk easily 100-200 miles simplex with 65 watts.

Excellent product. has more power capabilities than I need, but is a name trusted for CB's so Why not give it a try on Amateur Radio...
