As most things in ham radio the short answer is: "it depends", but let's dive into this a little bit further though. This radio does not have a built in tuner, so something resonnant would be useful. Also, since it's QRP I would go for something that's efficient. A dipole, a quarter wave vertical or a dipole would be good starters. If you would like something multi banded I would go for an end fed halfwave.
It is a pretty sweet feature. I’m just starting to use the SDR Control apps for the 705.
It’s a killer feature!
what antennae do you use with this. what would i have to buy to get one of these operational?
