Icom has announced details of its forthcoming portable automatic antenna tuner for the IC-705. The AH-705 is a palm-sized portable antenna tuner that has been designed to work between the 1.8-50MHz bands. It can be powered either by alkaline batteries or DC 13.8V supply.

AH-705 HF/50 MHz Automatic Antenna Tuner Features

• Covers the 1.8 MHz to 50 MHz bands, using a long wire element

• 2-way power sources using alkaline batteries or 13.8 V DC (13.8 V DC should be taken directly from an external power supply, not through the IC-705.)

• Latching relays used for saving power consumption

• IP54 dust-protection and water-resistant construction for outdoor use

• Compact design that neatly fits in the optional LC-192 multi-function backpack
