i have just one quick question. i reciently ordered a imax because i liked my last one so much, but i need to know what size masting i need to run. i want the correct size for the u bolts on the bottom. my last imax lasted at least 5 years untill i moved and i left it. im planning on using some thickwalled conduit or galvanized water pipe, base of antenna will be 25 foot off the ground. |

Mrbigshot, WELCOME TO THE COPPER FORUM! The mounting u-bolts that come with the IMAX have a 1-3/4 ID so you will need a 1-3/4 OD mast pipe. Hope this helps, Lon Tech808 CEF808 N9OSN |

Well that is a problem. I have several Imax and they all allow only a 1.5" mast pipe. Maybe 808 has something new that Solarcon has changed in their antenna. |
