The manufacturer says the antenna wire for this 651.85Mhz unit should
be 48" long.

Can anyone tell me what that would equal in a rubber ducky antenna?

===============================================
The transmitter operates on a wavelength of 300/651.85 equals 0.460 m or
460 mm.

48 inches equals 48*25.4 equals 1219mm So the 'recommended' antenna is
1219/460 equals 2.65 wavelength.

Does not make sense to me



Beverage?
