PRESIDENT Maryland RW CB Radio Antenna

Great antenna and the installation was easy. It is very durable and a great purchase.

Item came very well packaged. Be careful of the small grub screw when you remove the plastic as could be easy to lose. Works extremely well with President Walker CB and picks up distant signals. Works well when the skip is around. Very easy to adjust SWR. I have mine mounted on a trunk lip mount with a quick release and the SWR was pretty close to 1.0 across all channels out of the box. It can take freeway speeds easily, it bends back a bit but does not whip around. I’ve had good reports on transmit and seem to be getting good distances. I’ve tried a few different antenna’s and this is by far the best.

Perfect SWR out of the package on 120 channels! Fender mounted on 15 Tundra.

Perfect SWR, easy to install - not much more to it than that.

The product performed well when brand new, but it is not weatherproof. Over the winter the antenna's SWR climbed to over 2.5 to 1 from 1 to 1. The SWR returned to being 1 to 1. after being stored in the house for a month to dry out.

At first I did give this a bad review, I had a high swr with the antenna and I could put a 102 whip in the same set up and had good readings. I had it mounted on a Jeep between the tailgate and spare tire, which isn't the best location. I moved the antenna to the front fender and now it works great since it has a better ground plane. President McKinley radio and better location of the antenna I get a 1.0 swr. The 102 whip was more forgiving for the location it was in, but overall after moving the location I get as good now as I did with the longer antenna

Works great

President makes some good stuff. You always have to keep in mind there are limitations to any item. The antenna on a CB radio isn't any different.
