Antennas for blocks 20-26

This is a full size cutting template used to cut the length of the whip for a particular frequency. Lay the uncut antenna on top of this drawing and trim the whip length to the desired frequency.

After cutting the antenna to the desired length, mark the antenna by installing a color cap or sleeve to indicate the color listed in the table below.

The supplied caps can be used several different ways:
1) A color cap on the end of the whip
2) A color sleeve next to the connector with a black
cap on the end of the whip (trim the closed end of
the colored cap off with scissors to make a sleeve).
3) A color sleeve and color cap (cut the cap in half
with scissors).
