Hmm, I would think it would hurt the frequencies. I just replaced mine that was cut down because it was already broken, and I still got 'okay' reception. If you want to replace it and for it to be short, you may want to install an s2000 antenna.

EDIT: You may want to shorten it from the bottom, rather than cutting from the top.

yes it is, but I believe there may be some modification needed.
