Is the maco 500 a good antenna. had a Wilson 500 years ago. or is there a better antenna.

MaCo 500? Never herd of a MaCo 500...There's a MaCo Laser 500 8 element beam antenna that's around $900, which I'm sure is very good, if you have the cash and strong enough tower to stick it on!

Hello bograndie,
Welcome to the forum. JJD has a good question, are you talking a base beam antenna? Years ago Wilson was sold to Maco antennas which in turn was bought by Charles Electronics,LLC, who also makes Gizmotchy Antennas. I don't think the quality of the antennas has changed.
I see you are new to the forum, could you post an intro here, http://www.cbradiotalk.com/viewforum.php?f=89 so others can say "Hi", thanks.

Hahaha! just couldn't help myself.

i dont know what a maco 500 is or looks like so describe it.
also remember that any antenna can work, optimizing results is the secret.
tell us your application. radio. coax. and PIN #,
apparently you were into CB's back when,,,? most of us were too. tell us more.

After doing some research I bought the Maco 500, yes a good 5/8 wave antenna
