Coil Antenna's ... Are there really any differences?

Wilson silver load

my 5 foot silverload was so crappy no matter what i tried that i went ahead and unwraped it and sank a 4 foot whip into the top making a 1/4 wave whip that doesnt destroy everything it hits. now its useful and works good. my wilson1000 didnt quiet keep up with my sirio5000 but my wilson5000 beats them both and almost stays with the 102" and is the quitest antenna i have but has better receive then the 1000 or the sirio

I hear guys on Wilson silver loads 30 miles away with stock cobra 29's often. When I hear people at that distance from me, I always ask 2 questions:
1--who tuned that radio(if it is crystal clear)
2--what kind of vehicle with what kind of antenna is it.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes

    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
  • @ heartbreaker3473:
    Okay, sorry, will put in a forum
  • @ heartbreaker3473:
    I put it in the general disscution help area and started a new thread. Thank you for letting me know.
