[Icom] Antenna question for Mobile marine with Icom 706MKII

Wed, 16 Jan 2002 21:18:06 -0800

On your AH-4 have you tried using any of the CB antennas that are fiberglass
with 3/4 wave or full wave 27mhz.  They do make them with high power rating
too.  Just wondering if that would get you above 40 meters?
