i would like to hear everybodys opinions on both of these antennas in a comparitive manner or just your experience with one or the other. i have the imax performance is great. simple to set up low and flat swr. only complaint (i don't know if it is the antenna) is i have some tvi with my neighbors. i thought maybe the maco would give me the same performance but be less prone to tvi.
