Reviews
Ive received the item successfully within short delivery time It was genuine,well packed and worked fine Awesome purchasing experience It wont be the last Thank you
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.
Q&A
The connectors at the end of the Icom K220A and K220C antennas are not PL-259. They have an Icom compatible connector used with Icom units. Compatible Icom units are listed under the Compatible Icom units tab.
No, this antenna is exclusive to Icom.
Unfortunately, this antenna is not compatible with the Icom A6 handheld radio.
Per Icom, yes, the K220A/K220C antennas are compatible with the A200 radio.
17 foot coax cable.
No, this antenna is not. It is only compatible with the A220 or A120.
This is designed for use on a car, so we could not say how well this will function on any aircraft application. As an experimental aircraft owner, however, it is your discretion on how to utilize this.
Approx 26.5 inches.
Both of these antennas are designed for the Icom A210 and A110 series. We offer Part# 11-18603 for the handheld radios.
No, we do not show this as working with the A23.
