    Question Wilson 500 or Wilson 1000

    I have thrown the height problem out I am willing to just unscrew the coil. I have found somewhere that I can pick up a Used Wilson 500 for $30 and I would have to buy the whip. Is that a good deal or should i look at a Wilson 1000? I am thinking of upgrading in the future to a Galaxy dx959 for SSB from my Uniden pc78 elite. Any thoughts or suggestions would be a great help!

    Default Re: Wilson 500 or Wilson 1000

    The only real difference between the 500 and 1000 is how many watts of power they can handle. If you're planning on running what the truckers call a "big radio", that is a CB with a linear amplifier pushing out more than a few hundred watts, go for the 1000. Reception will be the same for either unit, assuming that mounting and SWR tuning are the same.
