Great vid. I just bought a new I-Max 2000 and I will put it up next weekend. I will keep my A-99 up and hook it to another one of my radios. I have had that one up since 1993

+RustySkull Productions Hi chaps.. as standard you need a 1.5 inch pole for the IMAX2000 (Max2000), that is my standard pole gauge here and it fits my Silver Rod 1/2 wave, Max2000 and the Gain Master. The distance between the U-bolt holes on the Imax ali base bracket mean 2 inch would be too large. It is crazy that antenna was working it all given the PL-259. Cheers and 73.

I had to use the 1.25 pole. The fence post I had was just a hair bigger than 1.5 and wouldn't fit. I would have preferred the bigger of the two, but the 1.25 is doing fine.

Get some good enamel paint and spray the antenna. just make sure it's not metallic paint. This will keep the antenna from delamination. The lock washers I got with my imax were garbage. Get some good stainless steel ones. Check each section where the copper wire is soldered into. If there is any protrusion, file it flat. This way the antenna won't look crooked. When it gets very windy, the antenna will bend quite a bit. Don't worry . It will return to an upright position. Mine's survived 60 mph winds with no problems. Oh, one more thing. Do not over tighten the antenna sections. The ground plane kit improved my TX and RX with stations over 30 miles away. I'm still very happy with this antenna. ; {>

Hey, yeah mine has survived 100mph winds so far! I thought the pole it's mounted on would have snapped but it didn't lol.

Thanks for the info I feel a little better on ordering. I live in the Northeast where we get snow, hail, ice, and when this however it will be somewhat protected from the wind seeing that there will be a lot of trees around it but yet far enough not to interfere wood is transmitting and receiving,. Thanks for the reply enjoy.

I hope not you see hundred mile an hour winds however in the winter when there's I sent 15 mile an hour winds may seem like 100. Other than that can you tell me how far it actually broad bands, how far will it work in frequency or out of frequency

seal the joints on the antenna with insulating tape or self amalgamating tape and definitly seal the pl-259 coax connector with self amalgamating tape no more water is good

Shitty antenna dont waste your time buy a sirio gainmaster . The imax gives out lots of rf causing tvi problems. The sirio doesnt. The imax brings in lots of rf interference . The sirio doesnt lol !!!!!

I had an unfortunate experience with the gainmaster. I came home from work one day and it had snapped at the clamp closest to the bottom. The neighbor saw it break in what he said was a 50 mph gust. I repaired it with an automotive fiberglass kit. I saw no difference on receive between the gm and the imax. The stations I talked to said the signals were the same too. Once I got my ham ticket I put the imax back up. The gm is rated for 500 watts and I knew it wouldn't put up with the 1000 plus watts I was going push through it. The imax has dealt with 1kw and no problems, so far lol
