Uumm, I finally got around to unfolding my G3 antenna and it is only 20" long--about half the length of anything else I have on 72MHz. Is this the proper OEM length?

Yes that is the length of the antenna wire that is on the 72mhz G3 RX.

I can't even remember what the length is since I cut all of mine 4" from the case and use base loads. I'm flying HAM band so they may be different but I'm not sure. I really like the install of the base loaded antenna and they've worked so far.

My antenna length for my G3 rx is 55cm . . ."never" a problem.

Hope this helps,
