FYI, Icom's AH-4, external auto tuner, is only rated for –10°C to +60°C (+14°F to +140°F). I have had users complain about the auto tuner not working during severe cold snaps. Mine is on the north side of a 4x4 post in the pasture, so it gets some AM and PM sun in the winter. It was -1f last night here in SE NH., colder up north. 73 Kriss KA1GJU _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
