Only if you're cutting a piece of coax to be resonant. Cutting an antenna has nothing to do with the VF of any cable connected to it.Yokoshibu said:* (Velocity factor of coax ???
to the OP,
for 1/4 wave, 866-869 MHz would be 3.24-3.23 inches (2808/freq= length in inches)
Can't believe anyone couldn't answer your OP with a simple math equation!
