are Diamond products just junk?

well years later I Emailed diamond for the 3rd time telling them there antenna is no good. so they asked me to send the antenna back to them to take a look at it..
after 2 weeks i get an Email that its done they adjusted the SWR on VHF and shipping back..
I get it back and it is no better than when i sent it..
Comparing the 2 same Coax same pipe same roof..
So i am done with this antenna i am putting it in the trash..

Sucks I was going to get the "CP610" 6m/10m Antenna to replace my Imax 2000 but some thing is telling me i wont be happy with it now.

here is some screenshots of some reporters... a friend of mine tells me the same thing with my single..

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
