I am about to order the Magnum 257. Will my Wilson L'il Wil work with this radio or will I need to step up to a 500 or 1000? I like the L'il Wil because I can get it under the covered parking at work.

Phx 518,

First off WELCOME TO THE COPPER FORUM!

Yes your Little Wil will work fine with the Magnum 257.

I have several friends who also use the Little Wil for that same reason and they have had no problems.

Thanks for the fast response and the good news, Lon. I appreciate hearing that I can save a little money by using my old antenna. Now I can get it tuned!

Thx

bang for the buck a 257 is the best out there. On 10 meters i still use a htx-10 ( its brother radio but CANNOT be expanded to cb ) the htx-10 is proven to be as good as anything out there you will be very happy with that 257.
