TOP OF MY I MAX IS GONE

#30690

Post by mudder »

Today I LOOKED UP ON THE ROOF AND GUESS WHAT THE TOP SECTION OF MY i MAX 2000 IS GONE.Im GUESSING THE WIND BLEW IT OFF a week or so ago we had some high winds then.I was told if i call the place that makes these that they will replace it for free and send me the top section.funny thing is everyone still gives me the same signal without thhe top section there so im wondering waht its good for anyway?i HAVE HAD THIS ANTENNA FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS but before that i had an antron 99 up for 12 years with no problems at all i may go back to the antron.

That would have to be one heck of a wind !

Have you found any pieces of it ?

I was i kept my antron 99 but i gave it to a friend of mine then he sold it.I think im just going to buy a new antron 99 this is the 2nd time the top section broke.And going from the antron 99 to the i max 2000 everyones signal was still the same.you think since its 7 feet taller and a 5/8 wave signals and transmit signal would go up.back to the good old trusty antron 99 i guess. :shocked: :Peace!: :twisted:
