Thanks very much for the several replies. It seems to be clear that an
external antenna is required for good transmission, so I will check out the
AAE antenna which Aircraft Spruce sells.
As for the radio, it is interesting to note the FR notation after the type
number on your Icom radio, Max (Icom IC-A6FR). From what I can understand,
this is as special model (or a special package) including a filter which
makes it an approved aviation radio for French registered light aircrafts.
Can you comment on this, Max - my French is not what it used to be (never
was ...).
The French Icom promotion video shows this radio in a cockpit with an
external antenna cable connected - is that your set-up, too, Max? I could
not see that a hand-held mike is available for this radio, though.
Regards,
Svein
