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.
Antenna rated at 5000 Watts
Covers 26 MHz to 33.5 MHz using patented tuning rings and trimming the top
section; approximately twice the 2:1 SWR bandwidth as the A-99 / I-MAX 2000 (3MHz with SWR<2:1)
Entire antenna radiates producing a gain 1 to 2 db higher than the best of the competitors 5/8 wavelength antennas
Antenna tested to 5000 watts without failure
Mounting system provides easy one piece installation
Long ferrules make for a mechanically strong antenna
Comes in three 3-4 sections which are UPS shippable
Meets or exceeds CPSC shock hazard standards
Add the MAX GPK ground plane kit for even better performance

I bought this antenna back in the year 2000. Still have it. Long lasting antenna. Got good reports when I had it up. Also used it on ham radio. Does a good job on 17 meters.

I've had my imax 2000 for about a month now and love it. from ground to tip its sitting 41 foot up and i can talk about 60 miles with out skip. I'm running a cobra 29 pushing a phantom 500 10 tube dead keying 50w swing 700w as long as u ground it good its a talking joker. i have 3 8 foot grounding rods run to it as a starter antenna i would recommend the imax.
