communication range. A bad SWR may also indicate that there is perhaps an

installation error or missing ground. Problems may be caused through missing

ground, especially in boats and motor homes with fiber glass body. For these cases,

Albrecht offers a special connecting cable with matching box as “artificial ground”

(AKM 27), or ground less antennas like GL 27.

Some antennas, like “Gamma II” (order No. 6725) are broadbanded and do

not need any retuning during installations.

Even if your AE 4200 R has a particularly robust transmitter high-

level stage which can even withstand mismatching of SWR=3, you

should still never transmit without an antenna!
