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!"
