    No such thing as preset antenna. Sometimes you get lucky

    you cannot adjust a Francis people and shops throw 18 ft. of coax on them and usually get the desired results. cutting one is not often done... their is no tunable top like most all fiberglass antennas....

    No guarantee it will be resonant. Depends on the vehicle. Can be lengthened or shortened if necessary. Would have to add metal to the bottom to lengthen or trim up top to shorten
