    You can take one of his cables and divide by 2 and then multiply by 3 to come up with a length for 75 ohm cable assuming the velocity of propagation is the same for the 75 ohm cable which won't be the case if the cable is manufactured by someone else.

    Doesn't have to be a super radio. The antenna is the most important part of the system and some trucks need a better antenna than others do (e.g. Cascadias).
