Default Futaba 72MHz Rcvr Antenna Length

I need to replace/restore some Futaba R319 and R149 receiver 72MHz antennas that were cut to work with aftermarket base-loaded whip antennas. I don't have any other unmod'd rcvrs laying about to compare against. My recollection is that, independent of the freq band, these antennas are typically between 39 and 41 inches in length. Correct?

Thanks for any replies.

Mike

39 to 41 is right for 72 MHz
