You can't trust rubber Duckies! I would make a dipole to use
instead. Jim WA6EKS

Butch,
You might want to double check to be sure you were sent the
correct
antenna. It sounds like you ended up with a significant mismatch
and high
SWR. I suspect if you are not careful, you will damage the final
circuit in
that little transmitter.

Concerning fm transmitters. I tried the antenna, and I'm not
impressed.
It is an el bow b n c with a loaded duck on it. I got a preggy
hot rf
burn off of the metal part below the duck. Also after being on a
couple
hours, the coil was warm to the touch, so power lost there. I'm
going to
figure out how to build some kind of outside antenna.
