Which is the Best antenna? Which one produces less TVI/RFI? I can spend $100 on a new Base antenna and want the BEST...
THANKS

All are good antennas. I prefer the Maco but thats just me. Any antenna can produce interference but if you use a good shielded coax and ground it properly you can minimize the problem. Look on the post in the open forum titled Army big stick vs Imax 200 or something to that effect. Lots of ideas and opinions on there.

I-max 2000, good antenna, understand they drag in plenty of noise. I run the big stick and it out does the I-max 2000. It would make some difference of where you are going to put it.. I live right on old historic 66 and just accross the road there is a high tention high line running there and I'm just 20 ft in the air.. Watch out for transformers they are hell on some of your antennas... DEAN- GOOD LUCK

Magic man.
Get the Imax. great starte antenna for someone that has either no experience or someone that wants a basic antenna that works good and that will give you a decent signal. I have owned one and can agree with these guys that it is a great antenna for a fiberglass stick. ME myself i mostly run the older aluminum stuff and like it better nut that JMHO! Ive never ran what averyone else runs because CB is not a popularity contest to see who runs what everyone else runs!!! LOL.
