Hello Brian,
I have been using an ICOM IC A200 with a Bob Archer antenna glued to
the inside of my Europa fuselage for a few years now and its
performance is absolutely first class.
I regularly pick up good quality transmissions from other aircraft
over 100 miles away and have never been told my transmissions are less
than 5's.
The automatic squelch works just fine.
Regards,
Mark
