[Antennas] Icom AH-4 Tuner To a Resonated Whip???

[DavidE Benedict]

Hi Dave,

The AH-4 should tune a 50 to 75 ohm resistive load. How do you intend
feeding the antenna from the tuner?  The AH-4 will not match a half-wave
monopole (e.g. a half-wave wire) worked against ground.

You can download the manual here:

Hi Adam,... Thanks for the reply.

I think that the AH-4 can work most any length wire against ground...why
not a 1/2 wave monopole?
