why do you need a longer antenna for your wilson 5000? did you cut it to short

If you order a longer stinger than the one it came with. You will end up cutting it down to the same size to get the SWR to match.

well, my SWR's on my meter were showing higher on chan. 1 than 40, so that means i needed my ant. to be higher. bought the longer stinger, and retested, had the same results. tried a diffrent meter, and the end result was: MY METER WAS BAD. actually had to trim the stock stinger...its all ok though, as long as i figured it out...lol

Congratulations crazy cajun!

You're gonna need muscle relaxers for your cheek muscles.

So far, my SWP General Lee is outperforming a SWP Galaxy 45MP, a SWP Galaxy 99V, and a long list of non SWP radios not worth mentioning.

We often look to see if the grass in greener on the other side of the fence, but if you're operating a SWP General Lee, or one of the other SWP Connex's, you're probably not going to be impressed with the change to another radio.
