[ICOM] Best antenna for 706 mobile?

[John Hart]

Doug,
I have been using my IC-706MK2G with an AH-4 tuner and an 8 1/2 foot C.B. 
whip on my GMC Pickup for about2 years now and it works great on 75 mtrs up 
thru 6 mtrs.  I do use a separate 144/440 MHZ antenna for the higher bands.  
Don't waste your money on the AH-2B antenna where a simple Stainless Steel 
C.B. antenna will do.
