Marine Radio using Aviation Antennae
Doug,
Most aircraft antenna's are 1/4 wave length (about 22 inches.) A quarter wavelength on marine frequencies is approximately 17 and a half inches. This is out of the range of most handheld matching circuits. My conclusion is that the answer to your question is no. Wayne http://www.soaridaho.com/Schreder "Doug" wrote in message ... I want to get a handheld marine radio for my amphib Husky. I wouild like to plug it in to my aviation outside antennae that I have installed for my aviation handheld. Will this work? Marine frequencies are a.. TX 156.025-157.425 MHz b.. RX 156.025-163.275 MHz (from the Icom web site).
