On my price sheet, there is a ATV-8A listed that covers 134-150 meg range. List price is 14 bucks.

We do not have any in stock.

Thank you for the reply Paul. I,ve been in the hospital so was unable to reply. The ATV-8A sounds good and was wondering if its tunable? Davie

That I do not know. Most likely not, unless you cut it to desired length. No cut chart comes with them.

Battery zone.com has aftermarket antennas. They may be "tunable".

The ATV-8A is good if you need a tuned VHF antenna. If you want to tune it yourself, I'd recommend the ATV-6XL.
It's 7" long max and comes with a cutting chart for any freq between 134MHz-174MHz.
