I've run mine for the last 2+ years w/o a problem of any kind.
Why isn't yours working?
The antenna seems to be to heavy for the 1000 mag mount. My concern is going down the road and if I get into a heavy wind the 5000 will fall over onto the roof. When I pull/push the Wilson 1000 it takes a lot of force to move the mag mount but the Sirio 5000 takes much less effort to pull/push the mag mount off the roof. Is it possible the length of the 5000 is higher than the 1000 giving the 5000 more mass?
Maybe I am overly concened...
yes i drive like a caifornian mad man from hell
Antennas are like a woman if she turns you on, she the right one for YOU! At this time in my life a Wilson 5000 hard mounted on the roof of my RAV-4 works good, but is it the best NO, but it does the job well for my needs. SS antennas work well for AM use and copper wire antennas like a Fire Stick work good on SSB. There are tricks one can do to get extra distance and range by placement of the antenna and the antenna used that help sometimes. I myself want an antenna that can go into the garage without taking the antenna off, will take power with out having a problems and covers more than 40 channels with out the SWR climming fast...............Oldtimer
Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare |

Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned |
