Hi
I am guessing that 5 watts is probably the max for hand helds under the
FCC rules?
God bless,
Mark

I seem to remember encountering a handheld 40 meter rig used by some Alaskan
Rescue group at a ham convention many years ago. I can't imagine you could
really communicate effectively with one of these new rigs especially with an
onboard whip antenna, but it would be fun to try it out. I guess it would
beat putting my TS-480 and tractor battery in a backpack with an MP1 antenna
waving around on top. At least then, I could have a choice of more than
five watts output! Jim WA6EKS

Colin,
My guess is that it's some kind of a telescoping whip with a loading coil in
the base, probably a pretty healthy compromise at the frequencies it covers.
Unfortunately, the operations manual says nothing about the antenna except
that the radio has a BNC connector on it. I may give Main Trading Company a
call to see if they can answer a few questions. Stay tuned.
Steve
