Antenna Tuner for Icom 706
 

hello I was wondering what Antenna Tuners will work with the Icom IC-706
radio's or Do I have to purchase the Icome AH-4 Tuner. Thank you very much.

i used the LDG electronics RT11 tuner with my 706 for awhile and it
worked very well

I use the LDG AT-11MP tuner. It works great!

I have an AH-4 myself but have no experience of any other tuner with
which to compare it. However, a recent message on an Icom-related Yahoo!
group says:

"Well, I made the switch from LDG Z100 to an AH-4 with the 102" whip
and WHAT A DIFFERENCE !!! I tested conditions prior to change and
again about 45 minutes later after the install. Day and night with
1.5:1 SWR from 40-6 and 2:1 SWR on 75. Signal reports were
EXCELLENT on 40 and 20 with no contacts on 75 or 6. Will try in the
evening. Unbelievable the difference this little champ makes :)
Definitely a happy camper here!"
