the advantage of a beam like the m103 would be increased gain in 1 direction and the ability to reduce interference from another station.I would not use a beam alone.use the imax to locate a station and switch to the beam after you know where to aim.adding a beam to your station would be a positive upgrade.about the differences between the m103 and avq2 quad,both have there advantages.and different people have their prefrences,myself would go with the m103.

That's excellent advice from Dindin.

And as far as the two mentioned beams go, personally, I would opt for the M-103.
