[AMPS] Max-con, magic antenna box info requested

[nospam4me@juno.com]

Hello there, 

I'm looking for information regarding a wire antenna interface box, sold 
some years ago... the name I believe was Maxcon, Maxcom or similar. 

This was a "promise the world" wire antenna "tuner/interface" box which 
provided a broad match with low reflected power.  Some length of 
wire was attached to the box to provide the hf and low vhf band 
operation.     It was advertised as a restricted space antenna match - 
tuner. 

The ARRL did a write up on the device, complete with an Xray view of 
the potted internals.  Many called it a fraud, but it did work to some 
extent.  Would anyone be able to provide the month and year of that 
issue, any related information and/or a used unit.  

I remember viewing the xray'd internals as some toroids and resistors. 

This type of device might help with a project I have in mind, I'd like to

research the device and build/buy one if possible.  Is the Company 
still in business..?   This device might provide some help driving a 
very dynamic complex load I have in a research project, similar to a 
tube element.   I need minimal signal delivered to this project. 

Any help would be appreciated... 
thanks
