Default Car radio whip antenna question

The FM band is 88 - 108 MHz.


Hold on, young fella. That depends where in the world you are. Japan
uses 76–90 MHz, and the OIRT band in Eastern Europe is 65.8–74 MHz. It's
only the rest of the world that uses 88-108 MHz!

OK, then use the calculator on this website to readjust your figures if
you live or intend to live in those regions.

88 - 108 is the most common. You will also note that my example of
100MHz is not exactly the centre of that spectrum but, for the purposes
of the exercise, close enough.
