Since 2009, I own an ICOM IC-2200H on my mobile station. I have 2 antennas for it, a loaded quarter wave whip and a 5/8 whip.
I usually use it for simplex and repeater analog voice operation.
When I'm in urban area such a kuala lumpur, I always use my loaded quarter wave since it wont giving me any problem to enter any basement parking lots.
But when I'm in rural area I will use my 5/8 whip since it has better reception and transmitting performance.
I've made an air choke balun on the transmission cable, nearer to my rig and attached a ferrite core to it.
I use external speaker made by MFJ for better sound and tone quality.
I like my rig since i can listen to AM mode. Listening air traffic control tower talking to a pilot is fun when you are stucked in traffic jam.
How about your mobile station?
