Wilson Little Wil 36-inch Magnet-Mount CB Antenna Kit (Boxed)

Product description

This boxed Wilson Little Wil magnet-mount CB antenna kit ships as a complete installation package. Inside you get the magnet base with its large 10 oz. ceramic magnet, a 36-inch 17-7PH stainless steel whip, and a 15-foot coaxial cable terminated for CB use.

The antenna housing and base are molded from high-impact thermoplastic for weather resistance and long life. The radiator system uses a heavy-duty coil wound with 14-gauge copper wire; the coil is engineered as a low-loss design and serves as the base-load element for compact size and efficient operation. The assembly is rated for up to 300 Watts power handling (ICAS).

Installation is straightforward: mount the magnet on a metal vehicle surface, run the 15 ft coax to your radio, and tune the whip for the best SWR. The unit’s 36-inch whip keeps overall height modest while still delivering solid TX/RX range, making it suitable for truck roofs, cars, and other vehicles where a shorter antenna is preferred.

Pros

  • Compact yet effective 36-inch stainless whip
  • Large 10 oz magnet for secure mounting
  • 300 W ICAS rating with heavy-duty 14-gauge coil

Cons

  • May require trimming for ideal SWR
  • Some shipments reported missing top elements
  • Magnet mount can be bulky on smaller roofs

VerdictThe Little Wil kit delivers strong performance from a short, vehicle-friendly form factor. Its sizeable 10 oz magnet and 14-gauge copper coil provide a solid mounting and reliable RF handling up to 300 W (ICAS). The 36-inch 17-7PH stainless whip and 15-foot coax are included for straightforward installation. Expect good transmit and receive performance after simple tuning; some users trim the whip

    Incomplete delivery

    Incomplete delivery: element missing; only a short pin arrived.

  7. Péter 5/5

    Product quality

    No complaints; I didn't need to adjust the SWR.

  8. Elmer Q. 4/5

    Sold without matching element

    The magnet-mount should include the radiating tip; I had to buy the top part separately, which added extra cost and inconvenience.
