Does anyone have any information / pros and cons about the Mosley DP-275-27 CB Antenna? Considering the cost, ($340.00) I am assuming the antenna material must be exotic / top secret (ha! ha!) and the fasteners / hardware must be gold plated.
Thanks for the info! My mind is trying to decide (and justify) if a CB base station (non-beam type) antenna is worth $340.00 and will it out-perform my current I-MAX 2000.MOSLEY is one of the oldest most respected antenna companies in the US. Top notch materials and pretty much built to say Mil-Spec quality. Never been disappointed with any Mosley product I have ever owned.

Most anything will out perform an I-MAX 2000. (anyone tired of hearing this yet?)will it out-perform my current I-MAX 2000
The cost of Mosley's DP-275-27 seems a little "steep".For that kind of money for a cb antenna I would go with an inteceptor 10k or a bm technology shockwave. Unless you run a stupid amount of power a 5/8 maco ground plane will do just as well.
I used to run the maco until I got scared of it arcing out and killing my tubes. The shockwave has been up for a few years now and I'm happy with it. I would have bought an I10k but they weren't available at the time.
For the most part a 5/8 wave vertical is a 5/8 wave vertical. The extra cost over a maco is paying for the name and/or quality of materials. I think workman makes a cheaper version of the maco but I know nothing of the quality.
Damn! Looks like an AstroplaneThere's always the Davemade bird cage for the big spender.
