first . my 10K isnt going anywhere ! lol . however i want something i can switch to that will handle 1000 watts (double what my amp will do) and is either short enough or flexable enough (or both) for parking decks when i go downtown for Dr. apts. and such . my lil will wont handle the power and im certianly not gonna talk with my amp off ! lol

im thinking fiberglass like a silver load or a firestick2 and K40 has a FG antenna that looks interesting and theres always francis . theres also flexable versions of these antennas . im thinking a 3 or 4 foot tall antenna tops . ive got a hole mounted stud on the roof .

are the flexable antennas as good as the regular versions concening rx and tx ?
are either of these better than the others ? im leaning twoards the wilson and the firestick is looking good too .

i know the stinger on a 1000/5000 would easily flex to slide under low stuff but i dont want to spend that much on a antenna to use maybe once a month .

I've been looking at the sirio performer 5000 lately. A local here got one, and it looked well made, so I was telling a friend about it...well, he got it and said he'll never run anything else. Said it was a huge improvement over his previous wilson 5000 in both TX and RX, and what's really nice, is it has a little lever on it that allows it to FOLD OVER. It might be worth looking at.

thanks guys . both those antennas are too tall though .
im gonna try the 4 foot K40 superflex next week .

i doubt it'll really handle 1500 watts but is should handle my amp just fine .

the shop here carries them and will install & tune it free . plus if i dont like it i can get my money back . so nothing to loose in trying it .
