The Wilson 5000 is the
top performing base loaded CB antenna for the automobile. Wilson used
the basic design of the Wilson Trucker 5000 with the exclusive low
loss coil and proven performance qualities of the Wilson 1000. The
Wilson trademark of designing an antenna with maximum efficiency is
continued in the Wilson 5000.
Extensive research and engineering efforts showed that a 6 gauge solid
copper wire with a properly designed coil, displayed excellent
performance characteristics. And though copper is one of the best RF
conductors available - silver is even better. Wilson combined the best
of both worlds by using 100% pure silver to heavily plate completely
over the large solid copper wire. This means that using the Wilson
design techniques, the Wilson 5000 will outperform all other base
loaded antennas available.
With the 5000 made from solid 3/16" copper silver plated wire, and the
special design of the floating coil, it will not ice up, stop working
even in severe winter conditions. There is no chance of the coil
windings cracking from freeze up.
The Wilson 5000 is over 65% larger than the famous Wilson 1000, and
designed specifically for users who want the best antenna and have to
ability to withstand some power applied to it. The Wilson 5000 will
handle 5000 watts AM, 20,000 watts SSB ICAS ratings).
Wilson's engineering quality, design, and attention to details is the
key to the high performance. The Wilson 5000's performance and power
handling abilities will prove itself the first time extra performance
is needed to break through the noise on the air.
Note: This antenna performs the same as the
W1000,
it only handles more power. If you're running under 1,000W
then the 1000 will do fine.
