ANTENNA FOR THE WORK TRUCK

[Grogan]

I was looking for an antenna for the Ford work van. I have a Wilson 1000 and it works great and have no complaints. The question is has anyone tried the LiL wil antenna or the K-30 antenna. Both are a little shorter and would be a little harder to spot up on the roof also would not drag the roof of the bank or Fast food drive thru. I don't hit cause I don't drive thru either one but maby 2 times a year. Lilwil seems nice K-30 also. any others I might try???

K-30 sux!

Lil Wil is OK; just remember that if/when you run a highly compromised antenna - don't expect it to leap tall buildings with a single bound . . .

Id keep what you have. Ive used the lil wil and the 1000 and there is a very noticable difference.

they are just to short to work well. you would be doing a major downgrade, your your talk distance will suffer

That is what I thought, Thanks! I was going to buy the LiLWil for the price just to add to the collection. I usually remeber to lay the antenna over and conect to the ladder rack when the truck gets serviced.

I had a Lil Will that I cut for 10 meters and it worked well. It seemed to be made well and was easy to tune. Worked into Europe and most of the US.

I could never get a magnet mount anything to work satisfactory on vans with ladder racks.
