Doug,

Most aircraft antenna's are 1/4 wave length (about 22 inches.) A quarter
wavelength on marine frequencies is approximately 17 and a half inches.
This is out of the range of most handheld matching circuits. My conclusion
is that the answer to your question is no.

I want to get a handheld marine radio for my amphib Husky. I wouild like

to
plug it in to my aviation outside antennae that I have installed for my
aviation handheld. Will this work? Marine frequencies are
a.. TX 156.025-157.425 MHz
b.. RX 156.025-163.275 MHz
(from the Icom web site).
