Antenna whip cutting

I cannot fathom the concept of buying survey equipment, and being unable to give and receive directions on cutting these, for the proper frequency. I studied a page from a local radio shop vendor. It was plain enough. I'm not complaining. I'm just bugged by this issue!
Next time I go to radio shop, I'll try to get real information. I do remember when I was about 10 yrs old, that you wanted the tx and rx antenna to be close to the same length. Also, you can slowly cut a centimeter, or mm, until signal peaks for a particular frequency, then begins to drop in signal strength. Then, you can change frequency, to slightly compensate for the slightly too short antenna. But, it's been a while.
Obviously, it's our weak link. Note to self: figure this out... When opportunity presents.
