Great Wilson 5000 pricing
- Thread starter psycho
- Start date
$300???
One would be better off spending $80.00 on a Wilson 1000.
Regardless of advertising, what do you gain from a 5000 watt mag-mount antenna over the 1000 watt version?
The last thing any one should do is run high power like that on a mag-mount anyway.

The only real difference between the 1000 and 5000 is the coax.
Don't they both use RG8x?
I doubt a magnet mount uses the larger higher power rated RG8 coax. Even if so, does that really justify as extra $220??? Are you really going to run even 1K on a mag-mount?

The difference in the 1000 vs 5000 is the coil size. The 5000 has a larger coil base thus allowing for more watts. The whip is the same lenght. I've seen guys run 4 pills with old wilson antennas before, mag mounts at that, they would talk all day long. I wouldn't push beyond 2 pill with a magnet mount. There is no other difference between the 1000 vs 5000 other than the coil. They use rg8x on both, 17ft 4in. of it I believe. The old wilsons were good antennas, the new ones I have seen too many bad apples. JMHO.
81 sold at $299??? I'm getting in on that and retiring early.
Actually I went back about 1000 feedback entries and there are no 5000's listed as being sold. Some sellers leave auctions open when they are out of stock and change the price to some ridiculous amount until they have stock. It keeps people from buying what he doesn't have and the seller doesn't get charged another listing fee.

I had a friend run a 16 pill into a wilson 5000. Burned the paint off his roof.
