[ICOM] Best antenna for 706 mobile?

[Ekki Plicht]

The AH-4 plus a long whip is a very comfortable solution, just hit 'tune' and 
you are ready to go. I have installed the AH-4 outside, under the car, very 
close to the whip base. See pictures and some reports here:

Other very nice mobile antenna is the High Sierra HS-1800. A cheap solution 
are hamsticks, although you have to change the antennas for each band.
