If you're a "newbie", you can't go wrong with the Imax 2000. If you've been around the block a few times and know how to use an SWR meter and tune an antenna, then the Maco V-5/8 is awesome.

Some also might say that the maco would have better ears. Sure wished Shakespeare still made their army stick. |
