Best CB Antennas in 2023? Top 5 Best CB Antennas

[@NobodyOwesYouAnythin]

I use the Wilson Lil Wil on a stock Bearcat CB and it’s clear as a bell. Transmit in open country out on AM 10 miles and SSB out at least 20. Very clear and clean. But nothing beats a long whip antenna. I miss metal bumpers.

[@gsxrsquid]

the best magnetic base antenna I have owned since the 70's is the radio shack model. I have used it with various radios and it always tuned nicely. For awhile ran a 150 watt heater on it and never an issue. I have ordered the Stryker SRa10 and will see how that does.

[@roger71901]

Best magnetic base antenna I ever had was a Predator 10K27

[@5bestDeal]

Thanks for sharing

[@rogerhancock8732]

Did you get the Stryker? heard a lot of complaints that the Strykers get water inside during rain. For a magnet mount antenna I'm currently using the Sirio Bull Trucker 3000. Almost bought the Stryker till I seen all the water complaints. As far as their performance they say they and Sirio are comparable if true then the performance should be great. Still have the 10k

[@gsxrsquid]

@@rogerhancock8732 yes I got the Stryker and was driving in some really heavy rains with no problems. There is a gasket between the base and the magnet. Maybe they lost it or it wasn't tight. Also it comes with a rubber pad for between the magnet and the vehicle. SWR is excellent and it gets out pretty good. Taller than the other meg base antennas I have used but more flexible so if you go under trees instead of tipping the magnet over it flexes. I'm very happy with it.

[@rogerhancock8732]

@@gsxrsquid I may just have to get one anyway as I do have another vehicle I need an antenna for.

[@indridcold8433]

I installed a Wilson Silver Load antenna on my vehicle back in 1996. It is the next best thing to a quarter wave whip at 253 centimeters (103 inches). It is still on that vehicle and still works great. Unfortunately, the band is dead. Back in 1996, I installed a Cobra 148GTL permanently into my new vehicle by cutting a hole into the dashboard. It looks great but citizens band died and I can not take out the radio without buying new dashboard parts because of the hole I cut. But everything still works over the decades. It is only the band that has failed, not the equipment.

The only antennaes I can make a case for is the K40 if you are operating under 300 watts. Also the browning and the firestick. Good antennaes from my 25 years of experience.

[@n5wsu]

The Hustler HQ-27 is a great mobile antenna. I just need to prune the stinger about inch and it is flat on all 40 channel and to the free band it can go up to 1.5 SWR on the 27.555 call freq. Great for skip.

[@billy6ization]

Nothing beats a 102 inch whip. I get about 15 to 20 miles on mine. Most people don't know but 109 inches is the best hight in order for your swr to be almost perfect so adding a tall spring or a shaft extension to the bottom of the antenna will give you the best results. If you want range and don't care about a 9 foot antenna on you vehicle then nothing really beats it. Coiled and loaded antennas are not really 1/4 wave they are 5/8 wave. 1/4 wave is the best for long distance cb communication while 5/8 wave cb antennas tend to do better when it comes to penetrating objects which makes them good for trail riding and overlanding.

The Firestik is an "ok" antenna, and always had been. You really want to get out and talk and be able to hear. Get your self a Predator 10K and a proper antenna Analyzer with real coax and connectors. CB is not dead, you just can't hear or talk.

hate to disagree but a 3' firestick is not ok. I do agree the Predator 10K is awesome. Have a Tram Br29 because a 10K was not available. Thought it was a comparable antenna and believe me it's not. The Tram is junk compared to the 10K. Don't get me wrong is a decent antenna but that's all it is. A 10K27 has been ordered as well as a Sirio Bull 5000.

I have used a Tram antenna similar to the Browning shown, with a Tram 3 magnet mount for years. No plastic base loaded whips for me. This combination just plain gets out, and holds less than 1.4 to 1 SWR from 26.500 Mhz to 28.000 Mhz. I would never even try anything else, and is less than half of what the Wilson costs, antenna and magnet mount combined.

Okay, for those of you who want the truth and not shill marketing computer voice B.S. The best CB antenna is the good old 108 inch stainless steel whip. Period. No spring. Just the whip. Now if you can't drill holes for the whip the next best antenna is the Wilson 1000 magnet mount. It comes with crappy coax from the factory. Once you replace that with some good coax, like Belden RG8X, and weather seal the magnet base you'll have a very good antenna. Ignore the robot voice and do not settle for a 1.7:1 SWR match on your brand new antenna! You can sure do better than that! 1.2 or better on Ch 19. Keep your antenna away from other metal so it doesn't reflect radio energy back into itself and ruin your SWR.

[@billybassman21]

@@atlas3863 Nothing wrong with a good magnet mount like a Wilson 5000. I have done test with them and talked 20 miles to my base with 30 watts. With 800 watts I can talk 30 miles and even put 10+ pounds on the signal meter 15 miles away mobile to mobile. One night years ago my mom and dad went out of town and my dad hooked his 1 foot Cobra mag mount and Cobra 19+ up. From my base which at the time was an Antron 99 about 50 feet in the air, I talked to them 16 miles away on the other side of Downtown Houston. It was weak at the end, but I still heard them. CB is dead which is why you need a good antenna, a good radio and an amp. 500 watts goes a long way. When I got into it back in 1988 at age 11. There were 10+ people within a couple of miles of me that talked regularly and many more in range. All I started with was a radioshack radio and a screw in the back antenna. Now there is no one within 2 miles of me and the other 2 a little further rarely get out there. Pretty much everyone is on 19 or 38 lower sideband and it is truckers and a couple of cliques spread out that have little desire to talk to anyone else. New comers try and they either get ignored or people are rude to them. We are also in a low solar period so DX is dead and when it is out there you can't talk much unless you have an amp.

[@atlas3863]

billybassman21 Yeah I hear what you’re saying, but being that CB shops are far and few most people will go to Walmart and buy a radio with mag mount because they don’t know any better guaranteed to be disappointed. and no matter how you slice it taller is better especially if you’re running under 10 watts. most people won’t be running any more than whatever the radio is putting out stock out of the box. out on the road we call those video radios if you can’t see them you can’t talk to them. so yes you are correct if you are a CB radio guru that’s been doing it for years and you’re pushing 500+ watts you can make them get out. but let’s face it most people watching this video are newbies that’s probably never held an swr meter in their life. i’ve had pretty good luck with a 102 inch SS whip and a tuned barefoot radio. The biggest hurdle is finding somewhere that’s not selling garbage/clones and a good cb tech for tuning. I’d bet back when you started cb there was no such thing as a clone. back when people still had good social skills. i’m down in fl and cb is alive and well here. especially since the pandemic people were looking for another form of communication just in case. and good people skills can go a long way. and need to keep in mind people are just starting out like we all have and they need some pointers rather than get trashed talked. quite a few people in my Area are using Mobile CB’s as base stations and it’s been pretty cool you always know what’s going on. people get out and meet up hang out and help each other out🇺🇸👍

It was all down hill from there with quality. Didn't see many big amps, most had Blue Thunder 200s, Gray 300s Palamars, Boomers..... Knew a few that had D&A and other tube amps.

Hint: I agree the #1 CB rig has to be the Browning, the Stoner and CPI. GREAT, SUPERB performance. The Stoner needs its outboard accessory to work on AM. But it has superb design and construction. Another attempt at a top of the line product was the CPI CB's. They had a HUGE reputation. But other radios were as or better on AM and has acceptable, non fatiguing, reception. CPI was late into the CB Craze and for the price you could get a exec condition 100-200 watt ham trancever that you could easily convert to 11 meters or general coverage(!) Xmit and receive. So the ultra high end CB sets got squeezed out in the CB/radio hobby market.

Not sure what 5 best deals specialty is, but it has nothing to do with antennas. I want a fancy antenna with 18 feet of cokes that gets 6 dash 8 miles of range.

Wilson 5000 magnet mount. ZERO standing wave

[@frankdaniels1763]

Sirio would blow those antennas away with ease.

[@sa6kod154]

Frank Daniels Yeah, i am running with a ml 145

[@rogerhancock8732]

Agreed running a Sirio Bull 3000 currently on my pickup till I put my Predator 10k back on. The Sirio will then be moved to my Suburban

5 will not handle power 4 the k30 will only 100 watts 3 will handle at least 1000 watts 2 will handle 500 watts just don't cut stinger 1 1000 but your better off with with a 102 wipe

[@g8ymw]

What? No Sirio? My HP4000 is as good as anything on the market OK the aerial is about 7ft long but you can bend the whip over to touch the car roof and it springs back, no problem. As a radio amateur, I cut a bit off to favour 10 metres Now it is resonant at 28.5 MHz. At 29.6 the SWR is 1.6:1 (FM simplex calling freq) At 27.0 the SWR is about 2.2:1 As I am a Brit, this covers all of 10 metres, the UK CB allocation and is useble on midband. Another thing, although theory says this should not be, it out performs a full sized 1/4 wave

[@W-733_KWX]

i don't know if they have Sirio in the States.

[@charlierozar3912]

108 inch Steele whip will hold 5000 watts.

How can this video be 2 years old and still be talking about this year's products??

Firestik for #1? Come on!!

[@roger71901]

this is a list of the best antennas for not getting out more than a mile or two tops. it is obvious the maker of this list knows very little about "best" antennas

[@stevetaylor8446]

BS. Bigger firestick antennas with a tunable tip are great...at home. On the car, not suitable at higher speeds or in areas with low objects, as they are too rigid. Best mobile antenna for CB at the time of this being added is the Sirio 5000 performer. Wikl out perform a K40 all day long. K40 were great back in the day, but I'm talking late 80s and early 90s

[@jameslane2667]

And for the fiberglass whips all they are is a wire wrapped around a fiberglass pole they don't even have a coil they're not a very good antenna

[@icebrakernh]

Wow these are the worst antennas you can buy

[@rawlinharringtonke8tiq837]

What?!? These are all junk.

[@thehunter3386]

“30 feet of ‘cokes’ cable”...??? Didn’t anyone review the dialog and offer correct pronunciation and technical jargon? While the reader has a pleasant voice, she obviously doesn’t know Jack shit about what she’s reading. Not her fault...YOURS!!

[@UFOzNoJoke]

On a scale of one dash ten, I believe this chick gives zero fucks so long as she gets views.

[@minnesconsinprepping7856]

Seriously......you're considering the absolute basic cheap thing one of the best? lol

[@AllanLoveJr]

ALL THESE ANTENNAS ARE 100% JUNK. NOTHING. I SAID. NOTHING CAN BEAT THE 102 INCH WHIP ANTENNA. I HAVE HAD MY 102 INCH FOR WELL OVER 4 YEARS NOW. AND I REFUSE TO USE ANYTHING LESS.

[@5bestDeal]

Tnx

Wilson 2000 & 5000 are #1.

[@808pathfinder]

[@jrwhitehurst5411]

So no Predator 10k? Hmmmm

[@kb9thp]

Personally in my experiences in 45+ years in the hobby I wouldn't buy anything recommended in this post other than the browning br28. Everything else recommended is junk! The others are only on this list due to the fact that they are cheap! That's what you will get too. Cheap junk! No experienced radio operator would ever spend good money on this junk!

[@jdubyaadams170]

Bullshite with all the electrically shortened antennas! Quarter wave SS whip is the only way to go for full range and performance! This was a total waste of my time. GET REAL!

[@alastairgray5648]

The voice over is pathetic. Who ever heard the word "coax" rhyming with hoax??? And a PL two hundred and fifty nine connector. LMAO.

thank you
