I purchased a 2000 with every intention of replacing it for the a99. Now I know many will say my reasoning for getting another a99 to replace the old one which may or may not have had a problem is this.
The a99 is infamous for causing rfi, now imagine that a99 at only 12' above the ground, rfi should be a given, but after nine months of use not a single complaint from nabour's about interferance.
And the house which it's closest to is of course my own, and no rfi coming through a single appliance. .
The I max although not as infamous for rfi compaired to the a99 still has its rfi issues.
My fear was changing to the 2000 may cause rfi that the a99 has atleast for me doesn't exist.
Is the 2000 a better antenna? of cause.
It's a 5/8 wave opposed to a 1/4 wave, but the chance the 2000 may cause me an issue that the a99 doesn't is for me worth the lesser performance. Stranger things when concerning antennas have and do happen every day.
And that's all I have to say about that.

[QUOTE="Stellasstillarat, post: 526613, member: 42401"] I purchased a 2000 with every intention of replacing it for the a99. Now I know many will say my reasoning for getting another a99 to replace the old one which may or may not have had a problem is this. The a99 is infamous for causing rfi, now imagine that a99 at only 12' above the ground, rfi should be a given, but after nine months of use not a single complaint from nabour's about interferance. And the house which it's closest to is of course my own, and no rfi coming through a single appliance. . The I max although not as infamous for rfi compaired to the a99 still has its rfi issues. My fear was changing to the 2000 may cause rfi that the a99 has atleast for me doesn't exist. Is the 2000 a better antenna? of cause. It's a 5/8 wave opposed to a 1/4 wave, but the chance the 2000 may cause me an issue that the a99 doesn't is for me worth the lesser performance.
