So I want to add antennas to a new part of my property seperate from other antenna and radio room. The radio is a ICOM 7410.
I want to use it in my living room with different antennas from those in the radio room on the back side of the house.
Can I hook multiple antennas to the feed line and use the tuner and actual have self selection happen by electrical resonance alone. I am guessing no! I am thinking I will need a feed switch to select antenna to use. I ask because with a multiband end feed you get some form of self selection of resonance assuming the tuner can cope corret? I have always mis-understood this. I have read my ARRL handbook many times but always felt confused.
I appologize for my ignorance. I am trying to be cheap. I am planning to use end feed 80/40/20+ but I also wanted to add some verticles. Since my living room is on the front side of the house I am trying to minimize cable runs for visual/cosmetic reasons!
