I was wondering if anyone has the address or email address for the company that makes the Imax 2000.
I want to ask them how was it possible to make a 5/8 wave antenna that doesn't need radials to function properly. |

They did respond back and gave a vague description basically saying,"there are many things that make this antenna special".
Means nothing to me.
And I asked them to be specific too. |

» 5/8 wave with or without radials?
The Imax 2000 matching section balances the feedpoint inductance and capacitance adequately so that the ground planes are not required for a good SWR match.
