At a yard sale this past weekend I bought a Radio Shack 20-176a scanner
antenna.
I measured the vertical element & radials which turned out to be apx 19''. A
quarter wave on 2M. Just for fun I used my MFJ249 & it's resonate at 147mhz.
Under 1.75 over the 2M band. I wouldn't want to apply a lot of RF to this thing
but a few watts might be OK. It might make a good "storm" antenna during bad
WX
using my HT. Anyone out there ever use one of these on transmit ?
