I am also disappointed with the fc-40. I have a random wire loop that I was using with the
Icom AH-4. It would load up half of the 160m band and every HF band from 3.5 mhz to
30mhz. This setup worked great and I made lots of contacts with it on every band I tried it
on. The fc-40 with the exact same antenna will only tune 20m through 10m. I miss the AH-4.
I now wish I hadn't traded my Icom radio for a Yeasu ft-897. Nothing changed with the
antenna. I simply swapped out the Ah-4 and Ic-718 for the FC-40 and the 897. Maybe Its
not too late to send it back.
Hi,
Do you still have the AH-4 ? If so you can get a box that will allow you to use the FT897 with the AH-4. have a look at
