CB antenna President Virginia President, magnetic mount, 490 mm whip

President Virginia President is a magnetic-mount CB antenna with a 490 mm whip designed for Citizens Band radio use on vehicles. The compact whip length and magnetic base enable temporary installation without drilling or permanent fixtures, supporting mobile communication and short-range voice transmission while improving reception compared to an internal aerial.

Advantages

The magnetic base provides quick attach-and-remove convenience and secures the antenna to metal vehicle surfaces. The 490 mm stainless or coated whip offers a balance between compact size and effective CB frequency performance. The design minimizes the need for tools or permanent fittings, making it practical for drivers who need occasional CB connectivity or temporary installations on passenger cars and vans.

Suitable for

• Temporary CB radio installation on cars and vans
• Mobile short-range voice communication
• Improving reception for Citizens Band radios in urban and suburban areas
• Users who require quick repositioning or removal of the antenna

Key specifications

• Antenna type: magnetic-mount CB antenna with whip
• Whip length: 490 mm
• Mount type: magnetic base for metal surfaces
• Intended frequency band: Citizens Band (CB)
• Installation: temporary, non-permanent attachment

How to use

Place the magnetic base on a clean, flat metal surface of the vehicle, away from moving parts and high-heat areas. Ensure the mounting point is free of dirt and paint flakes to improve magnetic contact. Connect the antenna cable to the CB radio transceiver using the appropriate coaxial connector. After connection, perform a basic SWR check according to your radio manual and adjust radio settings as needed. For driving, periodically check the magnetic mount for secure adhesion and ensure the whip is not obstructed.

Recommendations

For best results, mount the antenna near the vehicle centerline or on a metal roof area to maximize ground-plane coupling. Avoid mounting on plastic or non-metallic surfaces. Store the antenna indoors when not in use for extended periods to reduce corrosion and wear.
