it might make your bandwith a little narrower not a big deal though. ive heard they can help lower the floor noise level when its quiet out.they wont hurt ya putting them on but i wouldnt expect much improvement from them

The IMAX 2000 has a different mounting scheme than the A99, so no.
The A99 is just a pipe at the bottom and uses a couple clamps to mount to a pole. The Imax 2000 has a flat plate with holes drilled for u-bolts to mount to a pole. You cannot slip the A99 ground plane collar over that.
The IMAX 2000 GPK is needed to add ground planes to an Imax.

2:1? Yes, I would make a big deal out of that. If the tuning rings are about in the center of the threaded part, then it sounds like the antenna is too close to something else.
