After running across checked my Zaxcom antennae and found them to be a little off of the correct length for my block. So I want to ask, how important is antenna length?
I have two QRX receivers and some TRX transmitters. They have all operated well-enough. During my measurements I found some to be 1/4" too long, which puts them 2 blocks away according to the Zaxcom antenna length chart. The current TRX and QRX manuals show the same chart. I used precise digital calipers for the measurement.
I can't say I noticed any difference now compared to before. There are so many variables that affect reception, how do I know if the antenna length was a weak point?
I'd like to hear from Glenn and Larry.
