You might want to consider a pre-amp to pull the signals in.

hi plumb bob its a hf rig and with the pre amp on db gain goes up as would be expected but so does the noise so its got to be a better twig

the 1600 seems to be the latest on the block that works very well a breaker had one and tried it against an antron and it out performed it

I had an Imax and it made a lot of noise in the wind that made the neighbours not best pleased.

Many use here the Mega Range 827 and the Sirio 1600 and they are booming when hear them

I've recently put an Imax 2000 I am very impressed with it, noise in the wind???????
The static I receive with it is down, the receive power is up and transmit power is up. On transmit I'm as strong now as other persons in the area using beams .
