Marine Radio using Aviation Antennae

Will it work? Probably.

Will it work well? That depends on what "well" means.

Will it work at peak efficiency. No.

In all probability, your reception will probably be acceptable. The transmitter
protection circuitry may (high probability) prevent you from getting any decent
transmitter range.

-plug it in to my aviation outside antennae that I have installed for my
-aviation handheld. Will this work? Marine frequencies are
