Stinger=stainless steel whip. Not very expensive at a shop that sells CB's and Wilson products. I'd beware of this auction

I'm surprise N9ZAS is not in here "Hamming it up" and telling you what to do with your CB equipment.
LOL..........I'm Bad.

so its the whip.....should be 48 inches on a wilson 5000.....

i should beware of this auction.....

never seen wilson 5000 magnet mount thou....nobody EVEN ever mentions this antenna coming with a magnet mount...
whats the difference....bigger coil,longer whip,whats difference or is base exactly alike(not magnet) besides whip or we call it a STINGER?

No, the stinger on the wilson 1000 & wilson 5000 is 62"-66" long.

The Wilson 5000 base load antennas handles 5,000 watts carrier and 20,000 watts icas. The magnet uses rg-8x coax cable where the Wilson 1000 magnet uses rg-58a/u cable.

The stock whip for the 1000 or 5000 is 62 inches. In my experience, the 66 inch whip is the way to go. It seems to tune better.

Unless you're running more than 1,000 watts, I've never seen a need for a Wilson 5000. The 1000 is just fine.

W1000's good and I use one when anything else is impractical. But this is better....
