Yea, The oct. snow that we got here in PA which was 10+ inches destroyed lots of antennas in my area too. My home made flat side 4 element 10m beam I thought for sure was a gonner but the heavy wet snow finally fell off it and it sprang back.
The Imax scared me too, it was bent almost...
I can not agree with this quote, I have had a Maco 5/8 for 6 years and it went through high winds and Ice with out any problems.Large birds could not hurt it either. I gave it to a friend and he has it for over a year and it is still great.

This is the tilt base I built for 40 ft tower. I can tell you unless your going to bracket it high up to a building or guy it I would not go above 40 ft. Mine is free standing and I am going to make brakets soon because I can not sleep at night with the swaying it does lol.

My friend has the same amp from fatboy, it did the same thing and when I went over to help him set it up I found it was too much dead key. back it down and try again.

Yes they are improved,I ordered parts from them to rebuild my Shooting star and the parts were much heavier and the gamma parts where the coax connects were very heavy built pus stainless bolts/nuts.

I do not remember a sticker or name and addy on any part of the gp kit. I got it used without a manual for my Imax but never used it. My Imax is up without it and works great. I gave an a99 to a friend starting out and also gave the gp kit to him and am going to make it fit so he can use it on...
I thought about the length of the radials on the ground plane for the Imax, I thought they were 72 inches but thought I better measure them again to be sure. I guess I remembered wrong because they are 69 inches in length not 72.

Yes, mine are 72 inches. If needed I can cut them and put the black plastic cap back on.
But it looks as though I not need to. Just thought being the a99 is 18 ft instead of 21 ft I would need to cut them.
Will the ground plain kit for an imax 2000 work with a A99. I have a imax kit and can make a bracket so it fit but will the radials need to be shortened?
Thanks

Search on ebay, there is a guy on there who has been selling um for a long time with great feedback. In fact he is listed on eham reviews for his monitor.

Call HRO, It would be a shame to have to pay the shipping back to them even though it is defective from the start. Maybe they will not make you pay shipping I don't know.I would be pissed if It was me and had to pay shipping on defective amp.
You can also call Ameritron and talk to a tech...
I have a duo band Diamond or Comet antenna, don't know what it is but anyone wants it they can have it for cost of shipping. It is about 17 ft and three sections. It needs to be lightly sanded and refinished but that would be easy. I was going to do this but lost intrest in it. It works good and...
