Reviews
Michael Thompson
“I’ve been using the A-99 base antenna for over five years, and it’s still rock solid. Installation was straightforward, and the included ground plane kit really improved the SWR and coverage around my property. I’ve pushed it to near 2000 watts without any issues, and it’s held up through several heavy storms. The build quality is top-notch, and the omni-directional signal keeps me connected to distant repeaters effortlessly.”
Linda Carter
“My A110 mobile whip has completely transformed my mobile CB setup. It’s lightweight, easy to mount on my truck, and survives the highway wind without bending or signal loss. I also appreciate that the power handling is more than adequate for my 750W mobile rig. The tuning was intuitive, and the signal clarity is noticeably better than my old stainless steel whip. This antenna has made long-distance conversations so much easier.”
James Rodriguez
“The IMAX-2000 is a beast of an antenna. Setting up the 24-foot 5/8-wave vertical was surprisingly smooth thanks to the IMAXGPK radial kit. After months of use, it has handled high-power transmissions without a hitch, even during heavy weather. I’m particularly impressed with the SWR tuning; it’s precise and stable. The antenna’s performance for both local and distant contacts is remarkable, making it worth every penny for serious base station operators.”
Solarcon FAQ
What is the difference between the A-99 and IMAX-2000?
The A-99 is a ½-wave base antenna ideal for medium-range omni-directional coverage and up to 2000W, while the IMAX-2000 is a taller 5/8-wave base antenna designed for higher power handling (up to 5000W) and longer range performance.
Can I use Solarcon antennas for mobile installation?

Do I need a ground plane kit for these antennas?
Ground plane kits like GPK1 or IMAXGPK are recommended for base antennas to optimize radiation angle, improve SWR, and increase overall range, though smaller mobile whips may function well without one.
Are Solarcon antennas weather-resistant?
Absolutely. These fiberglass antennas are built to withstand high wind loads, storms, and long-term outdoor exposure, making them durable for both base and mobile applications.
How do I tune my Solarcon antenna for best performance?
Most base antennas come pre-tuned or offer adjustable sections; mobile whips may require minor adjustments. Using an SWR meter during installation helps achieve optimal performance and prevents overloading your radio.
