Quick question , set it up to the specs that was giving, instead of 27.205 being perfect, my readings at 26.205 are 1.1...….would adjusting the gamma on this help get the cb band where it should? CB band is around 1.5 to about 2.0. Thanks for any input .BTW this's the Maco Ba1 Antenna
 

Check to make sure the overall length is 210 inches from tip to tip and that it is equal on both sides at 105 inches first. If that is good adjust the gamma for better results. The gamma is adjusted by two settings. One is the overlap in the two telescopic sections. In other words, how much of the longer rod is slid into the larger diameter tube. The second setting is the position of the gamma clamp between the antenna element and gamma rod.
