At the risk of sounding dumb... My Maco V58 instructions say to make the antenna 249" for 26.0 MHz and 248" for 27.0mhz. The CB channels run from 26.965 to 27.405. So do I split the difference and make it 248 1/2"?? I know there are only 3 channels in the 26mhz range, but still???

If it were me I think that I would go with the 248". To cover the 37 channels.
