I used a imax for a few years and was plenty happy with it while I was using it. At the time I was also using rg-213, a cobra 29 and a galaxy 400 on a 50 amp power supply, a very economically priced base setup. I ran the imax for a few years but I started to notice that it wasn't weathering as well as I had hoped it would. I started to notice small cracks in the fiberglass and I decided it was time to replace it before it came down and damaged something else or possibly hurt someone. I had also upgraded to a x-force 2x4 base amp and a cobra 2000 so I figured I should spend a little more money on the antenna system to match the better(read more expensive) radio equipment I now had so I purchased an I10K with the idea that if I wasn't satisfied I'd send it back because Jay will give a refund if you aren't satisfied(another reason I believe the antenna is well worth the large price tag). At the time I put the antenna up I used LDF4-50A heliax which might have helped my results but I was more than satisfied with the antenna. With the imax my wife would complain anytime I was on the radio and she was trying to watch tv and the I10K eliminated all of that(I can't get cable where I'm at so I'm on an antenna for my tv). I also was able to talk to and hear people that were around 70 miles away I had never talked to before on my base(although I can barely hear them and talk to them). The I10K also cleared up a lot of the static I was hearing with the imax, which is probably why I could hear more stations I had never heard before. I was also very impressed with how much stifer the I10K was in the wind compared to the imax. So I decided to keep the antenna since I was more than satisfied with it.

[QUOTE="KD7UGY, post: 61264"] I used a imax for a few years and was plenty happy with it while I was using it.
