Finally some hacking Mod...Stubby Antenna
My first hacking....wasn't too bad. Hacked my stock antenna down to 13".
Took the antenna off ( 3/8 wrench)
Pulled the little ball at the end of the antenna with pliers.
Measure to 13"...HACKED IT!!
Filed the end of it so the ball can go back on it.
Slide black heat shrink tubing over it....heat!
Install the little ball...solder it!!
And walla...My own little STUBBY!!.
Note: Haven't noticed any reception loss....we'll see.
