[Antennas] SGC-237 Antenna Length

Sun, 3 Nov 2002 23:56:08 +0200

The SGC-237 is rated to operate 3.5 - 60 MHz with a 7ft antenna (minimum
length) and a 23ft antenna (minimum length) if you wish to go down to 1.8
MHz.  All antenna lengths longer than 7ft tune and work well.

I am very pleased with my SGC-237, which is used with success at home,
mobile and on field stations.

| A 102" whip, 8.5', not quite 9' (1+1=3?) will work fine with the SGC 237.
| Been a long week playing with numbers...
|
| I did try mine with the stated 9' exactly, made a six inch rod and added
it
| to the base.  Didn't do a thing for it electrically.  Didn't tune worth a
| damn.
|
| A neat trick though, claim your device REQUIRES 9', not the 8'6" CB
antennas
| then sell one for a few hunded bucks...
