(More customer reviews)This is the 2nd Imax 2000 antenna I've owned, and like it alot.After about 9 years, the fiberglass will deteriorate from the UV rays in sunlight, and then a strong wind will eventually bring it down, but for what they cost and how they perform, I am still satisfied.a friend and I tested this antenna side-by-side on the same evening about 30 miles apart.He had an A99 and an Imax 2000.While my antenna remained the same (my Imax), he switched between his A99 and the Imax physically (he mounted it on the same pole at the same base height) - yes, because the Imax is taller, this also gave it a slight height advantage...I noticed a 3 s-unit improvement on my receive signal from his station when he used the Imax 2000.He also noticed the same 3 s-unit improvement on receive at his end (from my station) while he used the Imax.We both found it hard to believe that there was this much difference over the A99 which is also a fine antenna.I won't bore you here with technical details, etc. - I won't argue "how many db an s-unit is", etc.- Also, for you people considering purchasing a ground radial kit for the A99 OR the Imax, my advice is save your money.It did NOT lower our angle of radiation.On a seperate evening he tested the A99 and the Imax both with and without the radial kits attached (at HIS end, my station remained unchanged...)We both noticed NO perceptible difference in signal strength at either station, receive or transmit of either antenna whether the radial kit was on the antenna or not.We still noticed the 3 s-unit improvement of the Imax 2000 over the A99, but nothing else.In fact he noticed a slight climb in SWR on the Imax when the radial kit was installed.
