The next antenna some like it and some hate it. I have here also a Sirio Hi Power 4000 and think the new 5000 has a slight edge on the 4000. Made in Italy and can come with different coax if and when you want to drive it hard with more power then choose the other option. Bandwidth is on mine something like 180 channels with good swr and then another 20 or so with the limits of the bandwidth being pushed. It is a heavy antenna and can handle on the power side 1.5kw continuous and 5kw now and then but not solid. Antenna is built fine and is excellent working as the next video here will show.

I like my Wilson 5000. Although the best antenna is a cheapie 102″ whip….
Simon, I have spoken to a few people who use this antenna or have had this antenna and they all say to me that the Sirio 4000 is better. What are your thoughts on that?
Same for me. I tested side by side with a 4000 and there seemed to be a difference for the 4000 being better than the 5000. Why that is? Do not know but would agree with you
That seems to be what everyone says Simon. I use the Sirio megawatt 4000. keeping in mind I have used many mobile antennas I would have to say that my Sirio 4000 is still the best I have used. My mobile setup is a Magnum S9 and a Sirio MW4000 running from my 13year old Mercedes C250 and with my KL500 linears it gets out very, very well.
Can any one out there help me? when i use my sirio highpower 4000 with a SS3900 +RM KL203 i get rf feeding back into the radio. when i unscrew the 4000 and attach a 1/4 wave tank whip using the sirio base and 3/8 adaptor not a problem.i’ve tried ferrite clamps on the coax and i have 1 1.5 swr but still have rf feeding back into the radio, if someone know’s what’s causing this and more importantly how to cure it please let me know.
First that not the best Sirio, ans secont thing your T5000 is made trom 2 antennas. Top is T5000 and lower coil this blue one is from T1000.
So try Sirtel Santiago 1200, President texas,WA27 or Sirio T5000 and than tell us if your Megawatt 4000 is better-i dont think so… All models what i told are better as they making lower noice in speaker. Apart of noice texas and WA27 much better gain.

There is no way that magnet is strong enough to hold that antenna during high speeds or on bumpy roads.
Sure of course you are right. This was the base i had at the time for the video and not the one that is used now. Better is a sigma eurocomm tri-mag
24nov67 do you use mag mount if you do have you used the tin foil that comes with the mag if not that will cause feed back use the tin foil and the put the rubber boot on and there will be no feed back
good vidio simon i use 4000 and for big dx 5000 but use tri mag i can hardly pullit of the car good mags and good antenna
Simon,
Are you familiar with the Sirio High Power 4000 PL? If so, will it direct fit a Wilson roof mount base?
that magnet looks like a Wilson 1000 magnet to me! don’t that antenna have it’s own mount??
Antenna comes with a PL base and you need buy a magnet. I use the PL145 base
