I have a couple of field strength meters that have missing and or broken
antennas. Are there specific lengths they are supposed to be? Does thickness
count. One of them is a Royce model 2-100 the other is an American
Electronics 95-135. I know they are cheapies but I like old equipment.

I've built FS Meters using anything from copper welding rod to one
nice one with a rubber duck antenna. I liked the simple copper rod the
best. The rubber duck worked as well, it just looked better...

Long enough to get the meter to move, but not so long that it hits the
power lines.


Does thickness

Only if she says, "Is it in yet?"

Try a telescoping antenna from a TV or cheapie CB walkie-talkie.
