MaxOptimizer allows you to choose between a balanced 10 -11 meter antenna that will perform well in both bands or optimize the antenna for the 11 meter band.
To Optimize for 11 meter performance assemble the antenna with the 12” optimizer section installed between the mid and top section as a 4 piece antenna.
For balanced 10-11 meter performance leave out the 12” optimizer section and assemble as 3 piece antenna.

I have had my IMAX 2000 up ontop of my roof since 2005 Love the antenna. My SWR is 1.1 to 1.3 depending on power output on freq 27.285.000 (28) and at this time is still the same. The antenna been thru 11 years of West Texas Thunderstorms and even a close call with a tornado. Never had it blown down, it has bent to the wind plenty but always goes back to normal. Love mine...

I have had a I -MAX 2000 for 16 years. Use it on ham bands, plus CB.. GREAT ANTENNA.When i got mine the price was $68.00 plus shipping. Can't go wrong with this antenna. Simple, easy to install. 5 stars ..

This antenna is a plug n play without any problems. You can tune with ease to suit your preference but will work on most bands with little or no adjustments. I installed without ground plane kit and still have excellent receive. Overall 5 Stars out of 5. If you need a quality antenna that is easy to set up then this one is for you.

If you want to get out and hear those long distance or weak stations this is the antenna for you.You can blow smoke with the I-MAX 2000!!Put it up and be a SKIP SHOOTER!!

Works great from 15m through the top of 10m without needing a tuner for amateur use.
