Sirio Turbo 5000 PL 10m & CB Mobile Antenna with Sirio Mag 145 PL Mag Mount

I tryed to run it to the house as a base but its design for mobile use.

Tried using on 3 different vehicles and it doesn't work on any of them. Analyzer shows it's not resonate on any frequency, on any band in the HF spectrum.

I started CB in the 90’s and the Sirio Turbo 5000 is the best magnet mount mobile antenna I’ve used.I have it on the trunk lid of my car (my roof is not magnetic) and I can talk 15 miles easily.It’s built like a tank. It doesn’t let any water in like the other popular ones. It doesn’t light up, have huge exposed coils, or attract a bunch of attention.Swr readings are perfect:1.1:1 on 191.2:1 on 1 & 40Antenna is well over 6’ tall and has a pretty thick, tapered whip.It has a very wide bandwidth > 1 mhz.I want to point out - There is also a Performer 5000. It’s the same antenna as the Turbo, with the addition of a lever on the side you can turn to fold the antenna down to get into garages and stuff. Super convenient right?For some reason I never see it mentioned anywhere, but on the Turbo, you simply twist the coil counter-clockwise and the antenna folds down just like the Performer. And it doesn’t have that extra lever sticking out of the side.The only thing I would change about these antennas is that the base comes with RG-58/u and a very cheap pl-259. It’s fine for my stock radio, but I would think that an antenna rated at 5000 watts would come with better coax and connector.That said, it’s an awesome antenna.
