Description:
Performance & reliability that drivers are
increasingly demanding from their antenna.
Wilson Trucker 5000 Series:
Dr. Dwight Heim, ( PH.D. Electrical Engineering,
Professor Emeritus, University of Michigan ) an
independent consultant, conducted a test and comparison
on the coils of some of the antennas used by truckers.
The Wilson 5000 Trucker CB antenna was shown to have the
highest "Q" rating of all antenna coils tested.
The "Q" is the standard engineering measurement
of efficiency of the antenna coil. The higher the
"Q", the higher the efficiency, which means
higher performance from that antenna.
The higher rating for the Trucker 5000 coil is a result
of proper engineering practices, such as the correct
length-to-diameter ratio for the wire size, and a silver
plated 3/16" solid copper wire in manufacturing the
loading coil.
Extensive research, development and engineering efforts
showed that a silver plated 3/16" solid copper wire
displayed better performance characteristics and lower
losses, giving more power gain, than that of chrome
plated hollow tubing. Copper is one of the best RF
conductors available - silver is even better. Wilson
combined the best of both worlds by choosing 100% pure
silver for heavy duty plating of the large solid copper
wire.
This combination provides better efficiency and higher
performance properties, thereby giving more power gain
than any 1/4" or 3/8" chrome plated tubing
antenna coil.
The special design of the Trucker 5000 floating coil will
not ice up and stop working or break, even in severe
winter conditions. This means that using Wilson's
design techniques, the 5000 Trucker will not ice up and
short out the windings as is possible with the open coil
designed antennas. The highly engineered thermoplastic
cover protects the coil from the harsh environmental
conditions encountered on the open road. A dirty antenna
coil can measurably cut the performance characteristics
of that antenna, and one that is covered with ice can cut
the performance by as much as 50%.
The Trucker 5000 is available with your choice of shaft
lengths of 5" or 10", and mounts into a
standard 3/8" X 24" threaded mount. Due to the
increased torque applied to the mount with the Trucker
5000, it is recommended that only a stainless steel stud
mount be used with the Trucker 5000. ( NOTE: The 18"
or 22" shaft should not be used with this antenna,
as the increased torque will snap the mounting stud, and
you could loose the antenna. )
The Trucker 5000 was designed specifically for users who
want the best in a high performance antenna with the
ability to withstand some serious power. The Wilson 5000
Trucker handles 5000 watts AM, 20,000 watts SSB (ICAS
rating).
Wilson's attention to detail, engineering quality and
designs are what helps make the antenna perform so well.
The strength of performance and power handling
capabilities of the antenna will prove themselves the
first time extra power is needed to break through noise
and congestion on the air.
Over 25 years of knowledge and engineering experience in
the design of antennas makes Wilson the recognized leader
in CB Trucker antennas, and the 5000 the choice of
truckers.
