Wow! Great info! The article was written and posted in 2002!

 Hats-off to Tech 833 for the doing the difficult and tedious task of removing the internal wiring from inside the fiberglass rods, especially the top section. I was curious if there would be an advantage of adding the ground plane kit to the MAX 2000 and as per the article, there is an advantage. After reading the article and viewing the photos, I understand how the tuning rings affect the VSWR.

 Are we to assume that the length and components of the base / coil section of the newest and shorter MAX 2000 is the same as always and the difference is in the length of the wiring in the fiberglass rods?
