I believe that guys who might think to put radials on their Imax might be better off with the maco GPK with horizontal radials, but you would have to remove the mounting plate and that is another issue to consider. Plus it looks like it could even be dubious to use 1/4 wave radails, rather than the shorter 72" radials Solarcon makes.

I think these models suggest that horizontal radials might just be the way to go using radials, or don't use radials at all. It looks like the kit, the way it comes in the box, is no-way-no.

But, on-the-other-hand, it just don't look like folks are interested in anything having to do with modeling, and I guess I'm not really surprised, modeling can be difficult for most CB'rs to even get started using.

[QUOTE="Marconi, post: 369093, member: 903"] I believe that guys who might think to put radials on their Imax might be better off with the maco GPK with horizontal radials, but you would have to remove the mounting plate and that is another issue to consider. Plus it looks like it could even be dubious to use 1/4 wave radails, rather than the shorter 72" radials Solarcon makes. I think these models suggest that horizontal radials might just be the way to go using radials, or don't use radials at all. It looks like the kit, the way it comes in the box, is no-way-no.
