Re: Tuning a mobile 2-Meter ? wave
Many antennas have an adjustment you can make by loosening and tightening using an Allen wrench. Adjust for 440 first (below the trap) then above the trap. I just did this last week with my NanoVNA

Re: Tuning a mobile 2-Meter ? wave
That looks like the printed chart that used to come with every Larsen antenna 40 years ago. The chart was accurate then, and assuming that nothing has changed in the base, I would assume it is still

Re: Tuning a mobile 2-Meter ? wave
One thing to remember is that you are not trying to tune for 1:1 VSWR, you are tuning for MINIMUM VSWR.? You may never achieve a 1:1 VSWR and that's OK.? Most commercial antennas are specked for

Re: Tuning a mobile 2-Meter ? wave
I have replaced the rod with a piece copper-weld antenna wire, then do the trimming until I get it tuned.? If I cut it too short I use a piece of solder wrapped around the copper-weld to slid up an

Re: Tuning a mobile 2-Meter ? wave
I've had quite a number of commercial single, dual, and tri-band mobile antennas over the last 4 to 5 decades. None needed lengthening or shortening. I'd agree with Tim, KA4LFP. If you are measuring

Russ, I think he said he had. However I agree with you. I have never seen a scenario where a properly functioning antenna needed to have its whip cut down shorter than the length of whip that was

Re: Tuning a mobile 2-Meter ? wave
Have you tried adjusting the length of the "whip" at the top of the loading coil at the base of the antenna? I would try that first.

Re: Tuning a mobile 2-Meter ? wave
One thing I've done is put a long length of copper romax into the hole where the whip goes. Hold that vertical with a bit of tape and string at the top tied off on something above. Then you can get

Re: Tuning a mobile 2-Meter ? wave
Detuning isn't power sensitive. (well, if you were running kilowatts, and there were high voltage breakdown occurring in the building, then yes, it's a power sensitive effect). And yes, being within 3
