how many miles can I talk with the antenna Wilson 880-200152B 5000 Series Mobile CB Antenna with 62-in Whip

That all depends on the radio & the terrain.I think you could get 3to4 miles with out any problems with a good radio

Depends on what you got for a cb setup. I can normally reach out about ten miles on a stick cb. With a modded cb you can talk a state or two over.

Depending on how many watts your running you should get out anywhere from 3 to 5 miles

if the repeater is in the back yard, so to speak, a mile is good. Usually repeaters can be any distance as long as line-of-sight is clear-no mountains in the way. My Baofeng gets repeaters about 20 miles in one direction and about 12 miles in the other direction and up a canyon. So does my HTX202! I can make direct contact with the Baofeng without a repeater over 20 miles-weak but clear. The Baofeng is good-go for it. You'll get all the repeaters in Indianapolis without a problem.73's, Happyham

I think 2 to 4 with the magnet mount antenna. We didn't even get 1 mile with the regular antenna. Just a guess tho

I have had it at least 30-40 ft out at the most. Had small area. Have not tried to lose contact. Antenna extends about 2-3-ft. Very cool! I like it a lot. Battery only lasts ~10min though. May want to upgrade battery pack.

I don't know what is recommended but I use wilson antennas on all my cb's I have used a lot of different brands and have found the wilson's to be consistantly good. I have several different models I use depending on the car or truck or jeep. I use the 500 (lil wil) on the trucks, 1000 on the car and flex on the jeeps and buggies. I have used K40's and all 3 have lost connection inside the base ( had to cut them apart, sodier them and epoxy them back together. Most of the name brands are good and a good rule of thumb is the longer the better. and don't forget to set the swr's, (just my opinion I could be wrong) I don't know what is recommended but I use wilson antennas on all my cb's I have used a lot of different brands and have found the wilson's to be consistantly good.

It is my understanding that it is 5 Miles. Reception is VHF/UHF/FM ad is DRV and HDTV ready. I use it indoors and get for the most part, excellent reception.

We get at least 30, maybe 45. My daughter gets many more. She's 60 miles from us in Houston. Antenna pictures are much clearer than cable or satellite. Go Ahead! Cut the cable, then hook your new Mohu Leaf. You can't get to second base if you're keeping one foot on first.

Wouldn't really think it's long enough to worry about it . But only whip part is flexible. Great antenna tho talked to California from Ohio in a galaxy mobile hooked up correctly it sure will talk

I used the road pro dual connectors and it works like a champ. Need at least 18 feet for your cb to work properly. The antennas need to be equal distance apart from each other or you will fry your cb.

10 miles might be pushing it, but most of it will depend on the type of antenna and where you locate it on the vehicle. I wouldn't recommend any antenna for what you need that is less than 4 feet tall and you should try to get that as high as possible on the vehicle. However, you may not be able to reliably reach one another on a consistent basis. Unfortunately due to the access to CB radios, you may experience a lot of congestion and could potentially spend a lot of times just trying to find a clear frequency away from other crazies out there.

60.5" overall length of the antenna. Whip is approximately 57.25". Works great for me!!!!!

Mine is working very well with NOAA frequencies on my Jeep Wrangler. For receiving antennas, the exact length (as related to the SWR) is usually not very important as long as it's not extremely 'out of range.' Of course for transmitting antennas the SWR is VERY important and an imprope match can quickly burn-out your transmitter. This basic principle is why the same antenna can work well on CB frequencies (with the proper SWR match) and also work well on the considerably different NOAA frequencies.

What is a recommended antenna length for this model and the associated range?
1263682
Kind of impossible to say. Most quotes for range by manufacturers are theoretical based on max distance in a vacuum. If you are licensed to use this radio, you will understand its limitations based on the type of antenna and it's transmit power.For listening in, a dedicated scanner would be best. For transmitting, don't do it without a license!

This antenna is good for signals within about 30 miles. For signals in the 60 mile range you will need to use a high quality exterior antenna.

I'm located in NC mountains and using this C2V-CJM antenna indoors. At first I received just a few stations 80-100 miles away. I later added a CM7777 30db gain amp and now receiving as many as 25-30 channels from 3 different markets.
