Below are some pictures showing the ICOM antenna tuner the AH-3 being tested in the field with two different set-ups. The first arrangment is using the ICOM antenna element (vertical) the AH-2b with some radials as can be seen, and the second arrangment is using the tunes with a simple long wire, a counter-poise and some radials.
The result :-  Simply amazing !
