Hi Gang,
We're just preparing for our 6 weeks in the Red Centre in May -June and looking at options to set up the HF radio in our 100 series.

We have the radio, an Icom Ham Radio model IC-706 Mk11-G...yes I'm a licenced Ham. I think I read somewhere that the Codan 9350 antenna can be used with other HF radios, but not too sure about my memory anymore these DAZE.

Another Aussie Product from Tasmania is the Moonraker AT-230 and I felt that there was an unsubstantiated rumor that Moonraker made the old 8558 Codan auto tune antenna, which was not a very good antenna from a reliability and performance point of view.

So what I'm looking for is:

Does anybody know the compatibility of the Codan 9350 to the Icom Radio?

Also a performance comparison between the Codan and Moonraker Auto Tune antennas?

Any other Auto Tune 2-30Mhz options I should consider.....Apart from importing a Screwdriver antenna from the USA that is.

Many Thanks in Advance
Rick n Julie
