Here are some instructions I gave someone a while back, don't know if
they did it or how it worked but it's worth a try:

Take the bottom cover off the 1729 and look at the bottom of the ant
with the coax cable/connector facing you. Find the 5th tuning
capacitor
(small screw driver adjustment) counting from the coax cable in a
counter-clockwise direction. This capacitor (C8) tunes the lowest band
30-33mhz on the antenna and will probably allow you to match the
antenna at 27mhz. You will need to have the whip attached and
preferably mount the antenna on the vehicle. If not mounted, tune the
antenna on a wooden ladder, away from any large metal objects. This
antenna does not require a ground plane.
Hope this helps.--
