The 102 in. whip is cut to Citizen Band Radio 27 mhz (CB)
You need to cut the Antenna to 65 in. for correct 43 mhz
appearance. this is how it goes.
for CB
468 divided by 27 mhz equals 17.3
divided by 2 (half wave whip) equals 8.6
then 8.6 times 12 (for 12 inches)
equals 103 in.
using the CB frequency 26.5
(commonly referred to and rounded off to 27 mhz
would give you 102. inches
for CHP
468 divided by 43 mhz equal 10.8
divided by 2 (half wave whip) equals 5.4
then 5.4 times 12 (for 12 inches)
equals 65 in.
If you want to change the frequency to say 42 mhz
then just change that in the formula.
the picture below is what i used to CAPP
the end of the antenna. I understand that there is
a Round ball with a set screw available but i have
not been able to find one at this time.
