How long do I cut the limbs for PMR 446?
I've bought this dipole center section to make a home made PMR 446 antenna
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160853656931? ... 1439.l2649

But I do not know whether I include the threaded part of the limbs as part of the 160mm long limbs or does the 160mm length start AFTER the threaded section ?? IE 160mm ant length plus 12mm for the threaded section??

Oh and please may I ask what is the best type of metal to use for the limbs, Copper?, Brass, Alloy?, steel ??

Can you guys advise please.
