well i wasnt gona respod to that post but ok i will.

there is a reason maco, sigma , jay used a large matching device that small one is the only thing im questioning on your antenna its seem way to small.

and @ 300+shipping your way out of the pricing ballpark.


oh ya and dont take my post so seriously LOL and my opinion is mine has nothing to do with the forum community as a whole.

:D


good antenna great price
 
Antennas

I have both the A-99 and Imax 2000 antennas. Imax 2000
is a better antenna.
But, your old one can be fixed back up. The ideas
others have said, will work good for you.
 
I used electrical tape on mine. Start at the top, and spiral down. I used black and green, it's impossible to see from the road, it blends in with the trees.

Well it is solid not tubing 1/4" in 6061 and that same coil held well over 20kw dead key in mobile configuration with out damage,I could make the matching device massive but there is no need,it is bigger than it looks.I had played with large more spread out 5 inch coils but as the coil was increased the load intself took on some mutation that i did not like in the meters so i went back to the configuration as it sits now..It a great unit.When i build the upgradeed unit made to hold well over 10k with heliax connections then you will see some size increases..Thats FL-Native
