    Default need help and info

    I have a little will sitting around and am needing another antenna for another vehicle.

    Is it possible for me to convert the little will down to a 2m/440?

    Thanks 73'

    Looking at it I would say NO as it has a loading coil at the base of the whip, so I'm thinking you can't just cut the whip to length as the loading coil will be wrong for the frequency!
    I got a mini mag mount that seems to work quite well on 2m/70cms for £15 UK.
