Subject: [RCSE] Antenna Length
So far we have 3 folks who have measured NIB receivers and they got:
1. 41"
2. 40.75"
3. 38.75"
Our antennas are quarter wave length thus the math stated by Art Mcnamee is
correct. Though his stated 5% reduction is something I've never heard of.
For channel 11, a quarter wave antenna would be 41.005 inches.
For channel 60, a quarter wave antenna would be 40.454 inches.
Allowing for inaccuracies, tolerances and the wire inside the case I make my
antennas 40 inches from case to tip. But in reality, the length isn't too
critical.
