Ed, the frequency I want to zone in on is 46.060 which is my home county's frequency (Juniata County, PA). Also, Cumberland County and Union County use this same freq to dispatch off so I don't really have a "non-strong" signal to base everything off because Cumberland is just over the mountain and their 46.060 is tied to their TRS which is loud and strong no matter what. The scanner doesn't really have a signal strength meter on it that is really dependable. I guess I'll just go with what I cut it at and see how it works, if nothing else I can always try to buy a true 46MHz band antenna. Free is free though, figured I'd try it first.
If I got the model number of the antenna I have on my vehicle, would that help anyone at all with the whip shortening length?
