Not really, it would tune great for one band or the other but not both. I was going to just settle for low SWR on 11m and then for 10m just run the tuner. The center section swap is working better then expected.

Good to know thanks.

I don’t believe so because the Antron is 18 feet long. Supposedly the change with the IMAX antennas was so they could ship them cheaper since they are 24 feet long.

So three of those pics loaded twice sorry. You can see in order how much shorter each section is when they are lined up together. So I just got done swapping out the center section only and did not use the ground plane kit. I tilted the tower down real quick and plugged in a 5 foot section of...

I have had an IMAX 2000 up since 2008, it was purchased new in 1998 and used for three years by a local radio operator before I got it. Last week we had 70-80 mph winds and the mast pipe broke off at the tower, when the imax came down the threads between section one and two broke. This is too...

Don’t forget this new version is now called Max2000, not Imax2000. I really need good coverage at both 10 and 11m. I really would like to put that antenna up one time either with or without the optimizer piece. Wire Weasel what is the SWR on yours at 28.500? On a side note I started a thread in...

And who's to say your really getting the organic protein, your obviously paying for it. I guess you will know when you see the kid bring up one big can and fill both protein bins up with the same stuff.

Well at this point E-Bay brings stupid money at a cost. Fees fees and more fees plus E-Bay always backs the buyer. Too many rip offs where you end up getting your radio or amp returned broken or missing parts. Many people like Facebook market place. Still decent money and no fees. The down side...

The big boys on channel 6 love that backwards swing from a heavy hammer.

Assuming you have a good mic and the speaker is working properly it could be a bad audio IC chip. Newer radio's have lots of settings and controls, double check those as well.

So is this an older news release or bulletin? I thought MFJ shut down and ceased its manufacturing operations back in May of 2024?

lol yup post number 10.

No. It appears you either have a jumper issue or your amp needs some work or both. It is common for Palomar and Texas Star amplifiers to not be properly matched for a 50ohm load.
