Antenna wire length ?

[mudbug]

I recently bought some replacment wire for my 27mhz FM rx. The length of the wire was 1m long. I then bought some more 2 months later and it was 500mm long ??. Which is the correct length for it.

Cheers.

Different receivers use different length ariels even if they are the same brand. You need to match the length with the original that came with the receiver.Longer is not neccessarily better if the receiver is not tuned for it. The JR website may help identify what you need
