how is it the wilson short load can be used on the 500 or the 1000 or 5000 ? i can understand the 1000 and 5000 becauce they pretty much have the same coil base but how can the short load whip used in the 500 also ? also,,has anybody used one of these and what do you think of them..
 

got the short load and it matched up great..recive is great and tx is good so far but have only tested it 10/15 miles or so so far..my buddy after seeing it coulnt belive i got such a good match outta of it so he put his mfj anyliser on it , now hes a beliver..
 
To be honest I was a skeptic aswell and couldnt believe or understand it either but my buddy did that to his truck so it wouldnt scrape across his overhead garage door on his garage but I must say that stinger actaully works and thats on a Wilson 5000 as a matter of fact he gave me the old stinger yesterday ironically
 
wife went 18 miles shopping,,gave me 3 bars reading on my 2970 back home that i use as a base..not bad for a 3 foot antenna..

    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
