WHY THE WILSON 1000
PERFORMS BETTER |
|
The Wilson 1000's higher gain performance is a result of several new design developments that bring to you the most powerful CB base loaded antenna available.
A large portion of the power that goes into a typical base loaded CB antenna is lost as heat in the coil and as dielectric heat loss in the plastic inside the coil form. Many CB antennas lose more than 50% of the power put into them. The power is wasted as heat loss and not radiated as radio waves. Another weak link in other CB antennas is the capacitor used to match the coax to the antenna, which is a cheap and easy way to make the SWR look good, but has lots of power loss, plus blows out when high power is applied to it.
The first priority was to reduce the dielectric loss by removing as much of the plastic inside the coil as possible. This was accomplished by suspending the coil in air, supported only at four small points, 90° apart, in effect removing 95% of the plastic from the inside surface of the coil. This reduced the dielectric loss to a negligible amount.
The second priority was to get rid of the resistive heat losses in the coil.
Since most of the RF energy at 27 MHZ travels on the surface of the wire, it was decided to increase the surface area by making the diameter of the wire larger 10 GA copper. Since silver is a much better conductor than copper, although very expensive, the wire was heavily silver plated. This reduced the resistive loss to a minimum.
Finally, to get rid of the losses in the matching between the coax and the loading coil, the lossy capacitor was eliminated and a more difficult but more efficient means of coupling the antenna was used. A Scalar Network Analyzer was used to determine the very precise point to direct match the coil with the coax and obtain the best match with maximum power transfer, which gives the 3000 watts of power handling capability.
So far you have read about why the Wilson 1000 performs better, but the Wilson 1000 is also the most rugged antenna you can buy. It is made with Mobay's Thermoplastic. It costs a lot more, but it's the best available. All of these are the reasons you get a 2-year guarantee and your Wilson 1000 is guaranteed to outperform any CB mobile antenna or your money
back.
Lockheed Test shows that the Wilson 1000 has more power gain than the K40....
In tests conducted by Lockheed Corporation, one of the world's largest Aerospace Companies, at their Rye Canyon Laboratory and Antenna Test Range, the Wilson 1000 was found to have 58% more power gain than the K40 Electronics Company, K40 CB Antenna. This means that the Wilson 1000 gives you 58% more gain on both transmit and receive. Now you can instantly increase your operating range by installing a Wilson 1000.

How to Mount the Wilson 1000
on the Trunk |
|
|
 |
Procedure:
- Loop the cable around the lip
of the trunk mount bracket so
bracket can be slipped on the
lip of the trunk.
- Place the rubber gasket
(900704) with the slot to the
rear on the bracket.
- Slide the trunk mount bracket
C on trunk lip and tighten the
two set screws on the bottom
lip underneath the trunk lid
with the Allen wrench pro-
vided.
- Close the trunk and screw on
antenna coil and install whip.
- Adjust according to tune-up
procedure.

How to Mount the Wilson 1000
through the Roof |
|
|
 |
Procedure:
- Drill A 3/4 or 7/8" hole in roof.
- Route the cable between hole and CB radio.
- Put body mount into hole.
- Place the roof mount gasket over the body mount on roof.
- Place stand off over mount.
- Place hex nut on mount and tighten.
- Screw antenna coil into place.
- Put whip into mast and adjust according to tune up procedure.

How to Tune and Adjust
the Wilson 1000 |
|
|
If
you intend to operate only in CB Band, insert the whip 1" into the
Antenna Adjustment Mast. In most cases it is not even necessary to check
your SWR. If you have access to a SWR meter, put it between the CB
Radio Antenna jack and the Wilson 1000 connector.
Tuning the Wilson 1000 |
Procedure:
1. Check the SWR on CH1 and CH40.
If the SWR is lower on CH1 than on CH40 insert the whip into the mast
1/4" more and check SWR. Repeat until SWR is the same on CH1 and
CH40. (NOTE: In some installations, it may be necessary to cut the whip,
1/4" at a time, to lower the SWR.)
2. If the SWR is lower on CH40 than on CH1 pull the whip up
1/4" more and check SWR. Repeat until SWR is the same on CH1 and
CH40.
3. It is important that the car or truck doors are shut while
making SWR measurements. Also, the vehicle should be at least 30 ft. from
any metal wire or structures.
4. For amateurs operating on 10 meters cut 1-1/2" from the
bottom of the whip (use a hacksaw), and adjust for best SWR between 28.3
and 28.5 MHZ. |

WARRANTY NOTES
The Wilson 1000 Base Loaded antenna is
warranted for two years against defects in workmanship and/or
materials and will be repaired or replaced, at the discretion of
the manufacturer, to the original purchaser with dated proof of
purchase or sales receipt.
Wilson supports an over-the-counter
repair/exchange policy for the conveyance of the purchaser. Most
warranty cases can be handled by taking the antenna and receipt
to the store where the antenna was purchased. If inconvenient,
the antenna and a copy of the receipt, may be sent to the
factory at purchasers expense where it will be repaired or
replaced and returned shipping paid.
Warranty does not cover damages caused
by abuse, misuse, negligence, (i.e., hitting overhead objects),
improper installation, etc. These are considered to be avoidable
circumstances and are not covered by warranty.
The coaxial cable is warranted for a
period of 1 year, and does not include pinching or cutting of
the cable by the door, window or trunk lid.
All Wilson warranties are limited to
the specific Wilson product only and does not include radio,
vehicle or other external product. |
|
PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE
The Wilson 1000 Base Loaded antenna will outperform the antenna
it replaces or your money back. This guarantee is good for 15
days from date of purchase at the original purchase point only,
and with dated sales receipt. |
|
Magnet Mount Caution:
Small particles on car surface or bottom of magnet can damage the car's
paint surface. Clean surface of car and bottom of magnet with a soft
towel or rag before installing on vehicle. When removing the antenna,
grasp the coil portion of the mount firmly and "tilt" the
antenna towards you. This will break the magnet force and allow you to
lift the antenna off the vehicle without scratching the paint. Do not
"slide" or "twist" magnetic mount while on vehicle. |
