Excellent product and service
Excellent service by Aircraft Spruce, thank you.
This review deals primarily with the magnet mount version. I rarely give anything from Icom a bad review but the magnet is too small and the rod is too thin and whippy. Im returning it. Ill give it credit for being an antenna and being able to resonate but I would double the size and pull of the magnet and double the diameter of the rod - then youd have something you dont have to worry about whether its going to stay put.
The one star is because Aircraft Spruce shipped the antenna very quickly. The antenna is probably the worst antenna I have ever seen. Do yourself a favor and buy a Larsen quarter wave antenna and a Larsen magnet mount from a ham radio store. The cost is roughly the same and the quality is infinitely better. Icom should be ashamed to associate their name with this poor excuse for an antenna.
