17" shaft, Predator 10K Comp.........This is a Narrow banded antenna though, but if your mainly using it for the regular 40 CB Channels, it is the one you want...(tunes at around 5.5' to 6')

If your going to be hitting any of the 10 Meter Bands, then you may want to go with the regular Single Coil Predator since it's more broad banded...(tunes at around 6.5' to 7')

The 17" shaft (shaft is the part thats below the coil) tunes real good on roof mounts... :wink:

The Predators use a standard size mounting lug, like what the 102" Whip uses, so it may screw right in place where your Wilson is now...

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

You're gonna have to have something with some substance as far as support. Something like a RF Puck, or something with more surface area. That little wilson whip is no where near compared to the size of the 10k.
