Default tuning on 2 meter.
I'm going to be putting my 2 meter back in my truck in a few days, and i cant remember what freq's you use to tune the antenna. I know sounds like a dumb question, but i cant remember. Thanks

146.600 would be a good choice if you are planning on talking on any repeaters.

If you plan on working repeaters then you would want to tune @ 146.600 for the lowest Swr. Hope this helps.

If you have a particular repeater that you use, then I would tune the antenna for that repeater. If there are several you use, average the frequency spread and tune for that.
