yes it could have been rain where this antenna shows its faults is when it rains other than that it is a good performer.

in my conditions booty the imax out performed the maco v 5/8 by 1 s unit but whatever.i have owned the m400 the antron with gpk and the maco v 5/8 and the imax.and the imax out performed them all so i dont know i thought you were an imax believer but maybe i was wrong.

yes tap point is critical,dont beleive what you her i had this antenna for three years and i just brought the article back up maco 5/8 to .64 wave look for it its at the top.i dont know if you ever owned 1 of these booty but unless you have and if you have i dont know if you know what your...

maco 5/8 after polishing connections had a better match!

not true the tap point is critical,not the length.i have pictures and info on some of my experiments with a maco 5/8 i will tryto bring them back up so you can read it and i have pictures to.

make it about the same or an inch or two longer!

a better antenna than the imax for 100 but your not saying what it is uh ok.

thats great booty i would eat that all day long and i not talking about the popcorn!

ok the radiator is the whip vertical,the grey coax is probably rg-8 or rg-58 mini foam,and yes the adjuster on the ring is called the tap point and the connector usually has rivets on each side.i drilled mine out and put small nuts and bolts through them.also if you have a soldering iron you...

did you check your jumpers from the amp to the antenna?or maybe your getting some kind of arch jumping like a spark plug when you hit it with power maybe one of your connections is to close to the other on the antenna.just a thought.

i have one of my own questions similar to yours and i will probably not get an answer unless it was already answered?has anyone tried isolating an imax 2000 from the mast and installing a maco gpk under the feedline to the mast?would this not work?being isolated from the antenna would not change...

ok lots of opinions out here so here goes!best for the buck generic maco 5/8 or workman 5/8 $63 bucks second would be clearly imax 2000.as far as best performance lw-150 and next vector 4000.i10k for that much money i would by a small beam.the wolf looks pretty good and i bet that and the imax...

booty had it right w-5/8 is better than asstron 99 or the shitduster a clear winner.if your trying to save the 15 dollars you might as well make a 1/2 wave dipole and hang it vertical,i did and mine worked as good if not better than my asstron 99 with groundplanes.good luck.

i owned a starduster for years and would never own one again.the starduster was a great local performer but has nothing on in dx land on a 5/8 wave.i think there is a newer version astroplane that is 6 feet longer then the old avanti 101 and cost a little more.my old avanti 101 was better than...

first of all what kind of coax are you running?second 238 inches is perfect for the middle of cb band!third the tap point is the major tuning adjustment for this antenna.and last make sure the radiator has not slid down to close or touching that nut and bolt holding the pl-259 connector.

the overall length of this antenna is not critical!however 238 inches should be about perfect length for factory specs.you can adjust the length all week long at be disappointed if your not moving the tap point!the tap point will determine where your dip is and is very easy to move.i have owned...

two main things here the tap point and the length!the length not so important i had one of these lengthened to 21ft and change and got the tap point to bring me down to 1-1.1 on all cb channels this took away from the broadbandness but likely increased gain slightly your best bet is to set your...

i find that rubber radiator hose works very well for my midland base and it fits under those ubolts perfectly!

do you need help with a maco?let me know.

i dont know where you see these results i would not even consider the two antennas similar not in gain,radiation pattern,length,price or quality!antrons are very common and popular due to marketing and false gain claims.this is like comparing apples and oranges!buy an imax 2000 for 100$ and...
