Yes sir... I used a mm to inches calculator and a decimal to fraction conversion tool.... Thats what I thought too is it would be ready to rock on citizen band besides tha gamma tuning.... All good.... We seem to get lucky today..... Thabks for the advice.. 73's

Didn't see your post till right now...Well this is what I came up with.. Gamma tuning" L1 37 1/2" L2 20 3/8" A (Reflector) 31 3/4" B (Driven) 21 1/16' C Director) 18 11/16' 73's

Thank you for the compliments... Yeah the elements should have some sort of telescopic tuning in them.... I think they just run them proud knowing there long and need to be cut for higher bands.. Man, I was a little nervous checking match after cutting and reassembling.. lol I got lucky...

Hey everbody.... UPDATE on my Sirio tune.... We did set everything to 27.0 on specs... Had to cut almost 2 inches off on each element..1:1 1 405 "perfect" SWRs starts moving up around 805... I'm happy.... I am using a Yaesu G-450A rotar... Have Antron right on top.. Good SWRs on both...

Awesome information.. Thank you... I am gonna set to specs using the 27.0 tuning table.... I can't take down whole antenna and use Robs advice being I have no help today.. I'm on my own... I'll keep you guys posted.... Thabks again ya'll..

Hmmm? Sounds like a good idea.. I wish I did have an antenna analyzer.... It looks like I'll be busy today...

Thanks for the chart Gary... Very informative.. 73's Phil

Hey guys... Having a cup of coffee and reading replies.... Thank you for the info... One thing I didn't check was the length of the 8mm end pieces.... Reflector, driven, director.. As you can see in tuning table chart.... Just a little nervous cutting elements... I did set gamma for 27.5 specs...

Hey guys... I just purchased a 3 element Sirio Antenna.... Everything went together good.. before erecting it; I set swr Gama tune to specs on instructions... MM to inches calculator was used.... The lowest I could get it was 1.4:1.. on channel 40.. channel 1 was 1.2:1 match.. After mounting...
