i wish i had a £££ for every imax 2000 that has snapped in the wind with our great uk weather, imax is ideal as a portable antenna but near useless as a permanent base antenna if you get anything like strong winds

Hello Bob85:
I was stationed in your great country for a year back in the early 90's. I thought we had some bad news wind in the Mojave Desert of Southern California.
Well we could take lessons from you guys in the UK, having some bad news wind and weather.
We had a commercial set of 440 MHz folded dipole antennas on a mast that was guy wired with 1/4 inch stainless steel wire. I asked the guys there why such a nut cake bullet proff antenna installation?!??!!? They said "you'll see mate" ...more ?!??!?!?!
We one day after getting there a wind came up and was blowing cars off the freeway!.....TILT!!!!!!!!!!! Ok I see!
Thats why I didn't see a lot of communciations there.

@ heartbreaker3473:Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes

@ AudioShockwav:Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
