Hi guy,

Please reword your question, I have no idea what you're asking. What is "formate"?

Do you mean an antenna for 400 MHz?

A 6 inch whip sitting on a ground sheet at least 12 inches in diameter, or a 6 inch ground plane antenna.

hi

that is what i mean to say how would you go about making a antenna for the 400 MHZ or a whip so you can get a better range for that freq.Or if you can not make one where would you go buy one from....WHY i ask is i saw someone just put a coax line strraight in the air hooked to something but i do not know if his works or not....

Cut off 8 inches of outer jacket. Fold the shield back on itself, so it extends from the end of the jacket down over the jacket. When you're finished, trim the shield to 6 inches, and trim the piece sticking up to 6 inches.

You now have what's called a coaxial dipole for 450 MHz. Hang it with a piece of string.
