I would not want to run more then 600 watts on a Mag Mount anyway.

Wilson 1000 or something to think about Wilson 500 mag mount, have used both in the past,no problems getting the Signal out,and both tune up well (swr) they get my vote!!!
Stryker SRA-10 I've ran this mobile on my car over a year and haven't made any DX contacts with it running barefoot but have with my K 40 on top of my van. Was kind of wondering if those blue lights that lite up when you transmit don't suck up some of your power. I have to get around to checking my KL-203 P out and mount it back in my car. Summer time is so busy I'm missing out on the Radio Fun.
Anyone here EVER used a Wilson 500 mag mount?
I know they make them but, I never hear of anyone ever using or posting about them.

I just put a Tram 3500 mag mount on top of my Chevy Colt and got almost a Flat Line SWR across the CB band. Channel 1 SWR only twitched a little when I did it so I was Estatic. Made a DX contact in Southern Texas from Northeastern PA the other day while setting in my driveway running my KL-203 P and Tram 3500. And I'm setting in a valley. I've even had good luck with the Tram 300, as a matter of fact I have one of those hanging from the Drop Ceiling in the room next to my radio room and it is in front of a window. I use it to test radios from my radio room. Good Luck deciding !
I had one of those Tram 3500's also and was an excellent antenna. Low SWR and a very good talker. Something happened and it finally got full of rain, water, and corroded really bad so I trashed it. If I ever bought another, I'd seal it anywhere it could possibly get water in it. Good luck with it!
I have a tube of Black RTV sealant around here somewhere, when I find it I will seal the antenna. Thanks
You bet. I wish I'd have done mine but, live and learn I reckon.
LOL Don't feel alone, I know about the school of Hard Knox all too well !
