Does anyone on here know where I could possibly get a replacement antenna for this receiver? The antenna that’s on it at the moment is starting to get a bit floppy and I feel like it could break.

Re: IC-R30 replacement antenna
Try Strictly Ham in Melbourne if you want a OEM replacement.
The other option is one of the Diamond, Comet or even Nagoya SMA telescopic antennas.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried looking at the Strictly Ham website but I didn't find anything. I can check again to see if I missed something though.Air493 wrote:Try Strictly Ham in Melbourne if you want a OEM replacement.

Re: IC-R30 replacement antenna
I would give them a call or email and see if they have (or can get) the OEM antenna. I haven't seen it advertised anywhere, but they may be available.
The other options if you want a telescopic antenna are the Comet SMA-99, the Diamond SRH-779 or SRH-789.

Re: IC-R30 replacement antenna
I know IC-R30 has no transmit capability. Of greater concern, I've heard it is "bad" on HF compared to other options, but I don't know how bad. The IC-r20 was disappointing and seemed to overload on a longwire antenna. Essentially the signal is too strong and overloads the receiver. Strictly Ham has some good OEM Options
