ANTENNA SYSTEM
2001 NEW
Antenna for ship
Required antenna element length
Required antenna element length to achieve full per-
formance varies according to the lowest frequency:
The longer the antenna element, the better the an-
tenna efciency.
Undesirable antenna element lengths
AVOID
multiples of
1
2λ (half wavelength) for an-
tenna element lengths, since tuning becomes difcult.
L : Antenna element length to be avoided [m]
f : Operating frequency [MHz]
n : Natural number (n = 1, 2, 3, ...)
[Example]
At an operating frequency of 16 MHz, avoid the fol-
lowing antenna element lengths:
For example, if 15 m is selected for an antenna ele-
ment length, you have no problem in the 1.625 MHz
marine bands range.
NOTE: Keep antennas as far away from other objects
as possible, especially metal objects.

Antenna for land operation
In some countries, HF transceivers can be used for
land mobile operation. Ask your Icom Dealer for de-
tails, since the radio law varies according to each
country.
For land mobile operation on 4 MHz and above, an
optional AH-2b ANTENNA ELEMENT is available.
The AH-2b includes a sturdy tow hook mount system
for holding a 2.5 m; 8.2 feet stainless steel antenna
element plus all the necessary hardware.
Refer to the AH-2b instruction manual for the AH-2b
and AT-140 installation to your vehicle. Ask your Icom
Dealer for details.
Connect a suitable antenna element for a base sta-
tion. To achieve full performance, refer to Required
antenna element length above.
