Upgraded replacement for IMAX 2000

A very long fibreglass antenna from the USA, the bigger brother of the Solarcon A99.

Very easy to erect, it comes in 3/4 sections which simply screw together. No screws or jubilee clips etc required.

Easy to swr - in most cases no adjustment is required, but if needed all you have to do is turn the tuning rings at the base of the antenna. Once in position simply lock the 2 rings together.

Personally I think this antenna is too large, it consists of 3 x 8ft sections (total 24ft) and does swing about a lot in the wind. But performance is about 3dB above the A99.

The Ultimate Optimizable 10-11 Meter Base Station Antenna. 5000 Watt Rated *New* Upgraded replacement for the IMAX-2000.

The MaxOptimizer allows you to choose between a balanced 10–11 meter antenna that will perform well in both bands or optimize the antenna for the 11 meter band.

To Optimize for 11-meter performance assemble the antenna with the 12” optimizer section installed between the mid and top section as a 4-piece antenna. For balanced 10-11 meter performance leave out the 12” optimizer section and assemble as 3 piece antenna.
