I have been caring a handheld com when I fly for a couple of years. I store it in my flight bag with a headset connected to it. In the event of a com failure or loss of electrical power my thought was just pick up the radio, put the headset on and hit power. I have most of the local frequencies programed so selecting a frequency as simple as pushing one button on the radio.
At one time I had a loran C navigation in the plane. The antenna for the loran is still installed. My question is can I use that antenna as an external antenna for the handheld? I'm thinking it cant be used because loran used a 100KHZ frequency and our com frequencies are 118 to 137MHZ. Am I correct that I need a new antenna for use with the handheld com.
Thanks
