WILSON 5000 ANTENNA DAMAGED BY 15KW AMP - WHIP STILL GOOD.BRAND NEW BOX WITH MINI BROCHURE INCLUDED
This antenna came direct from the factory and arrived defective with a loose connector. It was repaired by our licensed RF engineer who stated in the workorder that it would never operate within spec.
So we decided to put the Continental 316F-15 on it to see how it would perform. It worked beautifully without any issue for 2 minutes 25 seconds. Then we noticed the transmitter's AMI-VSWR protection breaker had tripped with the antenna warning light flashing. Sadly, the coax cable had shorted out when the antenna caught fire. The good news is that the whip was not seriously damaged, and only shows mild charring after being cleaned off with rubbing alcohol.
We will include the brand new Wilson antenna factory box with mini brochure at no additional cost.
