Antenna length is determined by the frequency used to transmit. The CHP whip was used for their low-band communications which are in the 42 Mhz range (see calculator in my earlier post).

Bill - My 66" whip fits into the clip, which is installed in the original holes left on my car, like a glove. Note that the clip bracket on my car is not quite prototypical. The original has much sharper bends in it to fit the door channel profile.

Mike - yes, go ahead and use those data sheets on the site. Let me know if you can't download the original images and I'll email them to you. You can have anything else you find in that album for the site as well.
