Funny thing about the Maxcom I think they are still being made and sold
to the government.

I remember reading the QST reviews of the Maxcom unit. They trashed it 
pretty thoroughly. Even included X-ray photos showing the few components

that were in the epoxy (resistors, coils) weren't connected to anything.

They even made the point that a Cantenna has as good a bandwidth as the 
Maxcom.

The whole point of the review was that the Maxcom unit was a scam and
that 
you shouldn't waste your money.
