Well,I've never tried a Wilson,but I want to try one.I'm currently talkin on a K40 "K30" antenna.
It works great,but looking at the design of the
Wilson I think the Wilson would probally work better.Again,I never tried the Wilson,but it looks
better than a K40 on paper.

I think both perform nearly equal, the Wilson is much more durable.

NCrebel,

I personally recommend the Wilson, however the coax and PL-259 assembly is prone to problems. The coax loosens up. If you are going to install one radio and not have to disconnect the coax much you'll be fine.
