 You mean a power socket, right?


	




Nope.

 You say "no making or breaking of BNC connex while flying the plane", 

 but you said " the panel mount (radio) is disconnected from the 

 antenna". Is it something like Bob has in the Aeroelectric connection, a 

 panel mounted antenna plug, or am I missing something?




	




The antenna switchbox is approximately 1" x 2" x 4".  It is mounted to the

back side of any convenient sheet metal.  It has a socket on it's mounting

face as well as 2 BNC connectors on it's rear side.  One BNC is for the

external fixed com antenna and one for the com radio.  There is a separate

feedline that attaches to the handheld radio.  The free end of the feedline

is fitted with a plug.  When you insert this plug into the antenna

switchbox socket, the antenna is disconnected from the panel mount com and

connected to the handheld com.

		   Is there a Icom part number for this socket/switch/feedline? Checked their

 web site and found nothing like your description.


	


It is curious that it doesn't show up there, but you can see it on the

Pacific Coast web site at:

The part # is ANT-SB.  



Hope this helps-
