I picked up a nice rugged electronics air-cargo shipping container at a local military surplus store to serve as my Go-Box. | |
Here is what I have in my Go-Box: | Icom IC-706MkIIG Icom AH-4 tuner MFJ 12 volt power supply AC Outlet strip AC extension cord Random wire antenna for use with AH-4 (73′) 2 or 3 lengths of RG-8x coax AH-4 tuner extension cable |
If you have an Icom AH-4 tuner, you may be as bewildered as I was in selecting an appropriate wire length that would NOT inhibit you from working all the bands. I finally stumbled across an Excel file that somebody put together which builds a graphical chart showing the lengths to AVOID…and thus by inference which lengths are OK to use.
