Icom AH-4 mobile users:
I recently installed an AH-4 antenna tuner in my mobile station, connected to my IC-706Mk2G. I'm using a 9 foot stainless steel CB whip as my radiating element, fed by about 2 feet of wire from the tuner to the base of the whip. What kind of radiating element are you using, and what kind of success do you have with it on 40m and 75m? I also have an Outbacker Perth antenna that I've used for many years, but I got tired of being unable to jump from band to band easily. I've thought about using the Outbacker with the AH-4, and just omitting the Wander Lead and matching transformer connection (in other words, use the Outbacker in its "raw" 75m state). I'm a bit concerned that the AH-4 won't handle this on 40m because the AH-4 manual says to avoid odd multiples of 1/2 wave, and that would be the case using the 75m antenna on 40m. Let's hear your thoughts and experiences! 73, Dean K5DH |
