The original antenna is 3 pieces.? The smallest piece attached to the longest antenna is used at 144..440 mhz.? The second long track is used at 50mhz.? Mine was destroyed, luckily I was able to find a new original antenna set at HRO Anaheim.? Small parts screwed to the end may loosen from the connection point and fall to the ground and get lost.? be careful. TA1CT 73
