Where should i order my antenna from??

[radioman24]

So after a few month's of listening to suggestions, I think I am going to get a new sirio vector 4000 base antenna, I was thinking of that and or the maco v-5/8 ground plane, but after visiting a awesome cb radio operator in las vegas yesterday I am set on the new vector 4000

where should I order it from??

I'd use the internet and shop.

Try DNJ Radio, etc . . .

H&Y says it's the 7/8 version. The 4000 is a 3/4

Is there much difference between the 2 antennas?

Funny; Sirio doesn't show the LW-150 on the Sirio website but they do show the Vector 4000.

CB 27 MHz Base Antennas

They also warn of copycat or counterfeit products that carry their name.

Not saying that the LW-150 isn't one of their products; but if it was then why isn't it in their catalog?

 

[Mudfoot]

Probably just lazy in updating. They have some new amps that are not in catalog yet.

H&Y offered both the LW-150 and the Vector 4000 a few months ago when I was gathering knowledge on what base station antenna to buy. When I finally decided on the 4000,H&Y dropped it from their catalogue. I then went to DNJ to buy mine. The 4000 is well documented on this forum performance wise. This will be helpful in making a informed choice on whether to buy a 4000,Gain Master,etc...

Could call them and find out what's what.

Sent Sirio a note:

Mr. Lorenzo/Sir:


There has been a question raised on a forum that you perhaps can properly answer.

Since there is a product called the 'Sirio LW-150' found on the internet; then how is it that it is not in your catalog?
Is it a forgery?

This antenna is being sold here in the US from H&Y Electronics; is it a genuine Sirio product?

Thank You,

Just got this note back from Sirio/Italy concerning the LW-150:

Hello Rob
Thank you for your contact and for your request about our Sirio VECTOR-4000.
Frankly speaking we can’t grant you that the LW150 shown on the H&Y site is Original because we are selling them some products but our original product and name is Sirio VECTOR 4000.

However we have an other distributor in California where I’m sure you will find the Original product. Please contact following company:

If you order from H&Y I suggest you buy it on eBay because H&Y cares more about eBay feedback than they do about you.
