    If I'm shelling out the bucks. I'm partial to the Predator. Never had any luck with Monkeymade. Haven't tried the Wilson.

    The Wilson is poorly constructed, likely to fall apart right at the base of the shaft. Never had a preditor, The Monkee-made tuned easily about a 6 1/2 " cut I believe . Performed well and very broadband. Found the owner did not want to honor his lifetime warranty regarding breakage when a tree removed it from mirror.

    i copied and pasted that quote and im going to catch all kinds of flak for it
    but i will tell them where i seen it

    The Monkey Made antenna is a type of a circularization polarization - hence it would sound louder and clearer to someone else who was using the same antenna, and might sound quieter to someone who was not

    back to topic
    the predator 10k straight out the package with stinger stuck in will already recieve better than the wilson anything antennas
    and will gaurantee to work alot better than one of those flat coil browning things
    what a joke of a antenna

    as for the monkey made or stryker antennas
    any driver comes to me and asks about a Predator 10k
    i will tell him the 10k will outperform the monkeymade hands down
    if it dont then i give him the predator 10k
    and if it does then i give him a discount on the 10k but i keep the monkeymade and i have him roll over the monkeymade with his drive tires.
    and i put the 10k on and tune it the right way
    and send him on his way

    there are other antennas that i think are a tad better than the 10k but most drivers are not going to run them so i wont go anyfurther
    you can check me out here

    1. Predator double coil for trucks will outperform the Wilson 2k.
    2. Monkey made antennas are WAY too heavy and have only about 2" adjustment range vs 5-6" adjustment on the predator. Also the predator can use the same diameter whip as a wilson vs monkey takes a much larger and often hard to find replacement whip.
    3. There are situations where the short shaft wilson is the ONLY way to go if you are one who gets into a lot of tree limbs or other low clearance situations.

    So what does all this have to do with a Monkey Made Antenna?

    Do you even know what a Monkey Made Antenna is or looks like?

    See....If you have had a Predator 10K, and a tree branch reached up out of no-where and snatched it off the mirror, all you would have to do is call the number on the shaft of the antenna, and whatever broke, a replacement part would be in the mail to you at "NO CHARGE"...

    I have seen guys who ran over their 10K's after they broke off, and flattened out the coil, and Kale would send them a new coil, and lower shaft at no charge...

    Regardless of how a 10K gets broke, it has a Life Time Warranty and replacement parts are only a phone call away...
