[ICOM] RE: Icom W32-A antenna

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

Don,

The original dual band duck antenna should be a FA1443B.  Actually, it's one of the "better" stock antennas that ship with handhelds.

If you're looking for something better (IMHO), might I suggest the Larson KD4-270?  More rugged (durable) than the FA1443B, same size, and individually tuned prior to packing.  Product info here:  http://www.larsen-antennas.com/docfiles/ASB8/SalesSheets/Amateur.pdf.  Most HAM stores carry them.  I have a KD4-270 on all my BNC handhelds (2 W2A's, and a W32A).

73,

  Aaron, NN6O

Hi Group,

Recently dropped my W32-A handheld and damaged antenna. Anyone know what 
Icom antenna is used ?  Would like to get exact replacement, manual does 
not show model nor is there a model # on antenna.

Thanks
