I have decided to install a more permanent station in my 35' boat. I have
an ICOM 706 or a Kenwood TS-50 to use and have the auto tuners for them both
as well as the AT-300 auto Kenwood tuner. Anyone have any experience with
the right antenna for this? I'm considering using a marine 12' FG antenna
and using the AT-300 tuner against the boats railing and internal ground
grid.
I have lots of experience with any other kind of antennas and installations
but this one will be my first time out.
Comments welcomed.
