DID not know there was a old and new I-MAX2000?The I-Max 2000 on the tower is 4 years old and the one on top of the shop is almost 1 year old and they both look the same.Maybe Solarcon came out with a new version?

I think the older version didn't have the mounting flange and mounted to the mast like an A99. I wont swear by that, but I think its right.

Moonraker wins the prize. Electrically, they are the same.

Personally, I find that the mounting on the side of the Imax to be more comforting. My Imax is mounted at nearly 70 feet at the bottom of the tower and I get winds that nearly lay it horizonal. I would imagine that the wind load on the base of the bracket is enormous and the flang takes that load alot better than the bottom of the antenna would. JMO
