Icom AH-4 Tuner question
If anyone here has experience with the Icom AH-4 antenna tuner, I have a simple question. Is there any reason I can not extend the control line beyond the 10 meter length that Icom supplies with a new tuner? Just checking before I order one. Ed K7AAT |

If you extend it to ridiculous lengths, or with thin wire, you can expect to mess up the ATU due to voltage drop in the ground and +12 wires. Owen |

I was just making sure before spending my precious dollars. Don't expect to need control line more than 50 feet long... # 18 wire, I imagine. Ed |
