Please help me out with the math. What is the length of a 5/8s wavelength
2
meter antenna? I've got something that might be able to be cut to the
freq.

Thanks

Lets assume you want a center frequency of 146 megahertz...

300/146=2.057945m (round it to nearest mm 2.058m)
2.058/8=0.25725m
0.25725x5=1.28625m (round it to nearest mm 1.286m)

Now I have a few questions...

How the ^%$#(*&$ do you get to even own a 2m radio without knowing how to do
this ELEMENTARY calculation? Do you have a licence? Have you learnt
absolutely nothing? This formula is the first one in the book together with
Ohm's Law!
