Not really. I just checked the 3 Uplinks I have left and only a quarter to three eights of an inch of antenna extends out from the boom. Just enough to tape it to the stab. Not enough to have any effect, tuned or untuned, at 72 Mhz. -- Dick Barker Port Angeles, WA - Turning HLG Around - You did

Got to get into this before everyone finally agrees on something. Not really an expert on antennas and such but I was designing them for mobile phones when Seattle had only two channels and the phone just fit in a Sampsonite briefcase with the aluminum trim shunt fed as the antenna. I still use

What has been discussed here is the Antenna. If you look at different Receivers, you will find that they will have different length wire for a Antenna. Some receiver have coils on the board going into the matching stage of the receiver. This is where they match up the Antenna to the first

friendly curiosity I thought RX antennas were tuned to a frequency by being a specific length. So wouldn't adding wire put it out of tune? Or is more wire always better because it has more surface area to receive? Not even remotely an engineer, Paul On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 17:22:35 -0800, Larry
