I'm using a Imax 2000 with a ground plan kit and I'm thinking about switching over to a beam antenna. My problem is that my wife don't want a big antenna on the roof. She's don't seem to mind the Imax. Is there a small beam antenna on the market at a good price.

There's no getting around physics: the higher the frequency the smaller the antenna. You could have a pretty small antenna up above 70cm., but at 27 MHz it will be much larger.

Don't forget that a beam implies a tower...you can't ground mount a yagi and expect it to work and/or be safe.

Grab a copy of the ARRL Antenna Manual and study the subject.
