What ATU?
by 2W0PWR Fri Feb 01, 2008 7:58 am
Hi,
I am looking at buying an ATU for my Icom 706Mk2G. Can anyone recommend one? It's got to be automatic, small for the boot of the car and run 100w so I don't have to get a new one to keep up with the Icom!! I want it to run with the Icom just like the Icom ATU would do. Just looking for a cheaper version.
Cheers,
Dave

We use a LDZ Z-100. Nice little tuner & not too exspensive.

Ok Cheers lads but I am looking for one to work with the Icom tune button and I don't think this one does that? Might be wrong....
