Wilson "Silver Load" FGT & Flex Fiberglass Advantages

Why the Wilson Silver Load FGT & Flex Performs Better
Testing the popular fiberglass antennas showed some brands put losses, like a dummy load, to make their antenna look good on the SWR meter, but sacrificed most of the power gain.

Wilson designed the Silver Load, with its exclusive impedance matching transformer, to give good SWR without sacrificing power gain. Additionally, using spaced windings on the top load to eliminate the dielectric losses, and silver plated wire for maximum radiation. With these features, Wilson has the best performing fiberglass antenna available.

Tested by Dr. Dwight Heim
Dr. Dwight Heim, ( PH.D. Electrical Engineering, Professor Emeritus, University of Michigan ) an independent consultant, conducted a test and comparison on some of the fiberglass antennas used by truckers. The graphs below indicate the results of this comparison test.

  • Spaced windings to reduce dielectric heat loss
  • 18 gauge silver plated wire to reduce resistive losses on FGT, 22 gauge on Flex
  • PVC protective covering around antenna on FGT, special rubberized covering on Flex.
  • Static reducing weather cap
  • 3/8" X 24" standard threaded mounting
  • 5 Year Warranty on FGT, 1 Year on Flex

 

 

ANTENNA POWER GAIN : the amount of improvement in power amplification over another antenna. The higher gain antenna will transmit & receive farther, but the actual distance will vary depending on the gain, ground terrain and other environmental factors. Individual test results may vary due to the vehicle's ground plane and matching configuration.

EXAMPLE :The Wilson X has 20% more power gain at 27.185 MHz than Brand X antenna. This means that if the Wilson transmits 100 watts of power, then Brand X will need 120 watts of power to have the same signal strength at the receive end.

    Multiple Item orders: We combine shipping whenever we can. EBAY does not calculate multiple items properly. You must wait for my invoice for multi-item shipping. If eBay calculates that I will put 5 radios in a medium flat rate USPS...I CAN'T and WON'T So wait for an invoice when buying multiple units. I will combine all items for the cheapest shipping with insurance and signature.
