imax 2000

Hello everyone, I was reading this forum when I came across this thread and I felt compelled to join and tell everyone my experience of ground planes on my Imax.
I was having huge problems with RF in my shack and in my house, I tried a choke on its own but that alone didn’t cure the problem. So, after taking advice I decided to isolate the antenna, add my ground plane kit as well as choking the antenna. Wow! Problem solved and my TX has improved to various different breakers in my area. As far as I’m concerned this method seems to be the cleanest way of mounting an antenna and I’d like to thank Bob-85 for his advice on this matter. Here is a picture of my Imax with the ground plane kit on, isolated with a piece of strong ash and my choke wound around a plastic former. Happy days.
